1.1 Connecting the Router
Before you install the router, you should connect your PC to the Internet through your broadband
service successfully. If there is any problem, please contact your ISP. After that, please install
the router according to the following steps. Don't forget to pull out the power.
1. Power off your PC(s), Cable/DSL modem, and the router.
2. Locate an optimum location for the router. The best place is usually near the center of the
area in which your PC(s) will wirelessly connect.
3. Adjust the direction of the antenna. Normally, upright is a good direction.
4. Connect the PC(s) and each Switch/Hub on your LAN to the LAN Ports on the router,
shown in figure 1-1.
5. Connect the DSL/Cable Modem to the WAN port on the router, shown in figure 1-1.

After connecting the CMP-WNROUT10 into your network, you should configure it. This chapter
describes how to configure the basic functions of your CMP-WNROUT10. These procedures
only take you a few minutes. You can access the Internet via the router immediately after
successfully configured.
1.3 TCP/IP configuration
The default IP address of the CMP-WNROUT10 is 192.168.1.1, and the default Subnet Mask is
255.255.255.0. These values can be seen from the LAN. They can be changed as you desire, as
an example we use the default values for description in this guide.
Connect the local PCs to the LAN ports on the router. There are then two means to configure the
IP address for your PCs.
Configure the IP address manually
1) Set up the TCP/IP Protocol for your PC(s). If you need instructions as to how to do
this, please refer to the detailed manual on the enclosed CD.
2) Configure the network parameters. The IP address is 192.168.1.xxx ("xxx" is from 2
to 254), Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0, and Gateway is 192.168.1.1 (The router's
default IP address)
Obtain an IP address automatically
1) Set up the TCP/IP Protocol in "Obtain an IP address automatically" mode on your
PC(s). If you need instructions as to how to do this, please refer to the detailed
manual on the enclosed CD. Power off the router and PC(s). Then turn on the router,
and restart the PC(s). The built-in DHCP server will assign IP addresses for the
PC(s).
