The DI-504 is built with a 4-port switch, which means that it has 4 LAN ports connected to the computer. Use a pass-through network cable to connect the computer to the LAN port, and then link the LAN port of the ADSL modem to the WAN port of the broadband router, as shown in Figure 2008112865.

2. Setting up a computer IP address based on a broadband router

The current broadband routers have a basic DHCP function, you can automatically assign the computer IP address. This feature makes it possible for users to share the Internet without having to set up too many computers. If you want to specify a static IP address for your computer, you must first identify the default IP address for the broadband router.

The default IP address for most broadband routers is 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1, and if the default IP address for DI-504 is 192.168.0.1, you need to take any IP address between 192.168.0.2~192.168.0.254 as your computer's IP address , and set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. You also need to point the IP address of the gateway to the IP address of the router (such as 192.168.0.1) and set the DNS server address (such as 202.99.160.68) by consulting your local ISP, as shown in Figure 2008112866.
