Chapter 3. Quick Installation Guide

This chapter will show you how to configure the basic functions of your TD-W8960NB 300Mbps

Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem Router using Quick Setup Wizard within minutes.

3.1 TCP/IP Configuration

The default IP address of the Router is 192.168.1.1. 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.

1. Configure the IP address manually

1) Set up the TCP/IP Protocol for your PC. If you need instructions as to how to do this, please

refer to "Appendix B: Configuring the PC"

2) Configure the network parameters. The IP address is 192.168.1.xxx ("xxx" is any number from

2 to 254), Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0, and Gateway is 192.168.1.1 (The Router's default IP

address).

2. Obtain an IP address automatically

1) Set up the TCP/IP Protocol in "Obtain an IP address automatically" mode on your PC. If you

need instructions as to how to do this, please refer to "Appendix B: Configuring the PC"

2) Then the built-in DHCP server will assign IP address for the PC.

Now, you can run the Ping command in the command prompt to verify the network

connection between your PC and the Router. The following example is in Windows XP OS.

Open a command prompt, and type ping 192.168.1.1, and then press Enter.

3. If the result displayed is similar to the Figure 3-1, it means the connection between your PC and

the Router has been established well.
