9.0. Networking Basics
9.1. Check Your IP Address
After you install your TRG212M wireless router, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to
obtain an IP address from a DHCP server automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow
the steps below.
Choose Start
>
Run. In the run box type cmd and click OK.
At the prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter.
This will display the IP address, subnet mask and the default gateway of your adapter.
If the address is 0.0.0.0, check your adapter installation, security settings and the settings on your
wireless router. Some firewall software programs may block a DHCP request on newly installed
adapters.
If you are connecting to a wireless network at a hotspot, please contact an employee or
administrator to verify their wireless network settings.
