Verifying Your TCP/IP Connection

After installing the TCP/IP communication protocols and configuring an IP
address in the same network as the Wireless Router, use the ping command
to check if your computer has successfully connected to the Wireless Router.
The following example shows how the ping procedure can be executed in an
MS-DOS window. First, execute the ping command:

ping 192.168.2.1

If a message similar to the following appears:

Pinging 192.168.2.1 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.2.1: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=64

a communication link between your computer and the Wireless
Router has been successfully established.

If you get the following message,

Pinging 192.168.2.1 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.

there may be something wrong in your installation procedure.
Check the following items in sequence:

1.

Is the Ethernet cable correctly connected between the Wireless Router
and the computer?

The LAN LED on the Wireless Router and the Link LED of the network card

on your computer must be on.

2.

Is TCP/IP properly configured on your computer?

If the IP address of the Wireless Router is 192.168.2.1, the IP address of

your PC must be from 192.168.2.2-254 and the default gateway must be
192.168.2.1.

If you can successfully ping the Wireless Router you are now ready to

connect to the Internet!
