Hardware Installation of 150Mbps Wireless N Router

1.2.4
TCP/IP Configuration
The default IP address of the 150Mbps Wireless N Router is 192.168.0.1. And the
default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. These values can be changed as you desire.
In this guide, we use all the default values for description.
Connect the local PC to the LAN ports of the Router. And then you can configure
the IP address for your PC in the following two ways. Configure the IP address ma
nually 1) Set up the TCP/IP Protocol for your PC. 2) Configure the network param
eters. The IP address is 192.168.0.x ("x" is any number from 2 to 254), Subnet M
ask is 255.255.255.0, and Gateway is 192.168.0.1 (The Router's default IP addres
s) Obtain an IP address automatically 1) Set up the TCP/IP Protocol in "Obtain a
n IP address automatically" mode on your PC. 2) Then the built-in DHCP server wi
ll assign IP address for the PC.
Now, you can run the Ping command in the command prompt to verify the network co
nnection between your PC and the Router. The following example is in Windows XP
OS. Open a command prompt, and type ping 192.168.0.1, and then press Enter. If t
he result displayed is similar to the Figure 3-1, it means the connection betwee
n your PC and the Router has been established well.

Figure 3-1 Success result of Ping command If the result displayed is similar to
the Figure 3-2, it means the connection between your PC and the Router is failed
.

Appendix A Troubleshooting
Q: How do I RESET my CW-5350. Launch 192.168.0.1 and Administration page and Set
tings Management. By checking the Load Default button CW-5350 will start restore b
ack to factory default setting. Please do not remove power when Router is resett
ing.
Q: What is the IP address of my CW-5350? A: The default IP address is 192.168.0.
1. However If you changed the IP address in LAN IP address of LAN Setup and have for
got, you might get the IP address of CW-5350 by looking up the IP address of the
default gateway for your computer. To do this in most Windows OS computers, cli
ck Start > Run, Type cmd, and then enter ipconfig. The IP address of the Default Gat
eway should be the IP address of the CW-5350 (This applies to most home network
environments). If your CW-5350 is a DHCP client, you can find your IP address fr
om the DHCP server. This information is only available from the DHCP server whic
h allocates IP addresses in your network. Find this information directly from th
e DHCP server or contact your system administrator for more information. Or you
will need to reset your CW-5350 to default. This means your current settings wil
l be lost. Q: I dont remember my password. A: The default password is admin. If thi
s doesnt work, you have to reset your CW-5350 using the RESET button on the back of
the CW-5350. Q: I cannot see or access the Login screen in the Web Management p
age. A: Make sure you are using the correct IP address. You can also try below m
ethods.

The default IP address is 192.168.0.1 (If you have changed Router LAN IP, Please
the changed IP to Login) If you changed the default IP address, please use your
changed IP address. If you changed the IP address and have forgotten it, see th
e Question 1 on how to find the IP address of your CW-5350. Reset the device to
its factory defaults, and try to access the CW-5350 with the default IP address
If the problem continues, contact the network administrator or cd-r king. Q: I c
annot access the Internet. A: Check the hardware connections, and make sure the
LEDs are behaving as expected. Please follow the steps below to make sure the CW
-5350 is connected with you modem. Some Modem from ISP may set their Default gat
eway (Router LAN IP) as 192.168.0.1, Please SET CW-5350s Local IP address as 192.
168.10.1 Configure your settings correctly i.e. DHCP, SSID, Password. Save your
settings. Reboot your CW-5350 and your ADSL/Cable modem. If rebooting your ADSL/
Cable modem doesnt work, please call your ADSL/Cable provider and ask them to res
et and restart your ADSL/Cable Modem. Make sure you entered your ISP account inf
ormation correctly. These fields are case-sensitive, so make sure [Caps Lock] is
not on. If you are trying to access the Internet wirelessly, make sure the wire
less settings in the PC/NB are the same as the settings in the Router. If the pr
oblem continues, contact your ISP. Please also check the following process if yo
u have done any RESET Q: I cannot access the Internet anymore. I had access to the
Internet (with the CW-5350), but my Internet connection is not available anymor
e even if I use wired connection. A: Check the hardware connections, and make su
re the LEDs are behaving as expected. Reboot the CW-5350. Check if your modem is
flashing any red lights, if it does, please contact your ISP. Q: My internet co
nnection is slow. A: There might be a lot of traffic on the network. Look at the
LEDs, to see if CW-5350 is transferring and receiving a lot of information. LED
will flash rapidly under heavy transmitting. Try closing some programs that usi
ng the Internet, especially peer-to-peer applications such as BT, eDonkey, and e
tc. Check the signal strength. If the signal strength is low, try moving the CW5350 closer to the AP if possible, and look around to see if there are any devic
es that might be interfering with the wireless network (for example, microwaves,
other wireless networks, and so on).

Reboot the CW-5350. Please update the Wireless Adapters Firmware of your Notebook
and PC to the latest version to ensure the best connection. If problem remains,
please contact the network administrator or cd-r king. Q: I cannot access the C
W-5350 or ping any computer from the WLAN (wireless AP or router). A: Make sure
the wireless LAN is enabled on the CW-5350 Make sure the wireless adapter is wor
king properly. Make sure your wireless adapter has the most current firmware. Ma
ke sure your computer (with a wireless adapter installed) is within the transmis
sion range of the CW-5350. Check that both the CW-5350 and your wireless adapter
are using the same wireless and wireless security settings. Make sure traffic b
etween the WLAN and the LAN is not blocked by the firewall. Make sure you allow
the CW-5350 to be remotely accessed through the WLAN interface. Check your remot
e management settings. Q: What can I do if I am having wireless connection probl
ems? A: 1. Check DSL line connect to WAN port 2. Signal strength drop or fluctua
tions are common caused of RF interference. Try these basic troubleshooting step
s: Change the channel on your access point or wireless router. Change the locati
on of your wireless products. Subtle changes (2-3 feet) can make a big differenc
e. Do not put the access point or wireless router in a cabinet or enclosure. 2.4
GHz phones, X-10, and Bluetooth devices will interfere with your wireless networ
k. Change the location of the base for your phone, or downgrade to 900Mhz phones
, or upgrade to 5.8GHz phones. The wireless signal will degrade (or die complete
ly) when going through brick (fireplace), metal (file cabinet), steel, lead, mir
rors, water (fish tank), large appliances, glass, etc.
