Your router’s internal IP address
This is typically the same as the “default gateway” from the above information.
Your router’s public IP address
You can find this by visiting www.whatismyip.com .
Your router’s username and password
If you do not know this information, you will need to look in your router’s manual or
contact your network administrator or internet service provider. If you have not changed
your router’s default username and password, you can probably find it on the internet.
Try looking at your router, jotting down its manufacturer and model number, and then
doing a search on Google for the model number, plus “default username.” For instance,
if my router is a D-Link DFL-200, I would search for:
DFL-200 default username
You can also use find your Router’s default guide on
www.portforward.com .
Either of these will more likely than not help you find the login information you need.
Your network’s DHCP range
Most networks employ DHCP. Typically, your router doubles as your DHCP server. To
find your network’s DHCP range, you will need to log into your router (or other DHCP
server) and find the page containing those settings. If you cannot find these settings,
contact your network administrator or internet service provider.
Your network’s subnet Mask
A subnet mask (this is a VERY short simplification) is used to “subdivide” your network
into segments. You should be able to find your network’s subnet mask in the settings
you saw earlier when you ran “ipconfig /all” from a command prompt. You can also find
these under Control Panel Æ Network Connections Æ Local Area Connection (or your
network adapter’s name) Æ Properties Æ Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties.
The IP Address you will give your AP-9060/AP-16CO
You should first log into your router (or other DHCP server) and determine your DHCP
range. You need to pick a valid static IP address that is outside your DHCP range. You
should also (as a minimum) ping the IP address your have selected to make sure another
network device it not occupying it. On windows XP:
Start Æ Accessories Æ Command Prompt Æ Type:
ping [IP Address]
If you get a valid response, you should choose another address.
