TCP/IP Configuration

To access the Internet through the Barricade

™

 Plus Wireless Cable/DSL 

Broadband Router, you must configure the network settings of the 

computers on your LAN to use the same IP subnet as the Wireless 

Barricade Plus. The default network settings for the Wireless Barricade 

Plus are:

Gateway IP Address: 192.168.2.1 

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Note: These settings can be changed to fit your network 

requirements, but you must first configure at least one 

computer as described in Chapter 5 to access the Wireless 

Barricade Plus’ Web configuration interface. (See Chapter 4 for 

information on configuring the Wireless Barricade Plus.)

If you have not previously configured TCP/IP for your computer, 

refer to “Installing TCP/IP Protocol in Your PC” on page 5-1. 

All PCs connected to the Wireless Barricade Plus must be set to the same 

IP subnet as the Wireless Barricade Plus. The default subnet address of the 

Wireless Barricade Plus is 192.168.2.X (where X means 2–254) and the 

subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. You can set the IP address for client PCs 

either by automatically obtaining an IP address from the Wireless 

Barricade Plus’ DHCP service or by manual configuration. See “Setting 

TCP/IP to Work with the Wireless Barricade Plus” on page 5-5.
