Setting my Linksys WRT54GL

Here how I set my router. What I need to know is, my login-id, my DNS and also my connection type, is it PPoE or Static IP or else.

First I have connect the router to my PC/notebook. Let the router assign my PC with IP Address (DHCP). By default it will assign my PC with IP 192.168.1.2 and my router 192.168.1.1. I have to double check my IP by type ipconfig. After success I have to login to my router by type in the gateway IP in my browser (mozilla, IE or other simillar browser). It will prompt with login prompt like this

By default, there is no user name. Just enter the password and click ok. For new box the password is admin.

Then this screen will appear.

Fill in all info necessary. If you do not want to use ip 192.168.1.x as your ip, just change at router IP. Select the appropriate subnet. Or else, do not change.




To enable the DHCP assignment to your PC, select the DHCP server setting. Select starting IP and remember to fill all the DNS IP. In this case I use TMNet DNS as my DNS.

Basically, my LAN or home networking is done. Any PC can connected to my router. For wireless, I'll show in next post
