Operating System Configuration
This chapter explains how to configure your computer to work with the Router.
To access the Internet through the SpeedStream Router, the TCP/IP protocol must be installed on your
computer. If TCP/IP is not already installed on your computer, refer to your system documentation or
online help for instructions. Once installed, you should
check the TCP/IP protocol settings
to make sure
they are correct for use with the Router.
Once TCP/IP is installed and configured properly, the next step is to
configure your computer to use the
by configuring the Web browser to access the Internet via the LAN rather than
by a dial-up connection.
Check TCP/IP Protocol Settings
Because the Router uses the TCP/IP network protocol for all functions, it is essential that the TCP/IP
protocol be installed and configured properly.
The default network settings for the SpeedStream
Router are:
IP Address:
192.168.254.254
Subnet Mask:
255.255.255.0
If using the default Router settings and the default Windows TCP/IP settings, you do not need to make
any changes.
By default, the Router will act as a DHCP server, automatically providing a suitable IP address and
related information to each computer when the computer boots up. For all non-server versions of
Windows, the TCP/IP setting defaults to act as a DHCP client.
The instructions to check TCP/IP protocol settings differ between operating system. Check the settings
using the instructions for your operating system:
