Before you start

Before you start, you need to:

• make sure the cable connections are correct and WL-600g is powered ON;
• acquire an active Internet service, such as an ADSL account.

We recommend using wired connection for initial configuration, which may

help avoid possible setup problems due to wireless uncertainty. Use a CAT5

cable to connect an Ethernet-enabled computer to a LAN port of WL-600g.

Preparing your WAN

Depending on your ISP's requirements, you may need to acquire some of the

information listed below to set up Internet connection on WL-600g.

• Vitual Path Identifier (VPI)

• Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI)

• Host name

• Domain name

• ISP login user name and password

• ISP Domain Name System (DNS) server address

• Static IP address (For static IP users)

Preparing your LAN

To use the WL-600g Wireless ADSL2/2+ Home Gateway on your network, you need to install

a network interface card (NIC) or an IEEE802.11b/g wireless network card to your computer.

LAN configuration requirement

For initial configuration, we recommend you to connect a computer to one of the LAN

port of WL-600g and configure the TCP/IP settings of your computer. The default IP

settings of WL-600g are:

IP address: 192.168.1.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
DHCP server: enabled

To access WL-600g, you must set your computer in the same subnet with the ADSL

router. You can make the computer accept a dynamic IP address assigned by the

DHCP server of WL-600g, or manually set up IP address for your computer.
