Q: How to login to the router and configure the router?
A: The default IP address for Edimax router is 192.168.2.1
Open Internet Explorer. In the address bar, type in http://192.168.2.1 then hit Enter. You will get the login prompt window. The default username is admin. The password is 1234.
Hit Login button. You will login to the router’s configuration page
Q: Why can’t I login to the router? The Internet Explorer gives me “the page can not be displayed.”
Do the following:
1…. Make sure your network cable are connected correctly and LED of the specific LAN port on the router is lit up.
2…. Check the IP address of your computer.
The default IP address for Edimax router is 192.168.2.1.
IF YOUR COMPUTER DOES NOT HAVE AN ” IP ADDRESS” LIKE 192.168.2.xxx, YOUR COMPUTER “IS NOT” IN THE SAME “IP NETWORK” WITH THE ROUTER. Then you can not login to the router.
Do the following to check the IP address of your computer,
Click on Start and select Run. Type “command” hit OK. Under the command prompt, type “ipconfig” then hit Enter key. You will see the IP address. It should be like 192.168.2.xxx.
If the IP address is not 192.168.2.xxx, MAKE SURE YOUR “PC” IS CONFIGURED TO OBTAIN “IP ADDRESS” AUTOMATICALLY.
For Windows XP/2000 computers, go to Network Connections in Control Panel. Right click on Local Area Connection and select Properties. Double click on Internet TCP/IP protocol. Select the option of “Obtain an IP address automatically”.
Click OK to close Network Connection. After computer restart, check IP address by running “ipconfig” in command prompt.
3… To release and renew the IP address: (I would make sure this is necessary step, before doing this)
For Windows XP/2000 computers, go to command prompt. Type “ipconfig /release” Enter. Then “ipconfig /renew” Enter.
4…. After your computer has IP 192.168.2.xxx, you can do the PING test.
Go to the command prompt. Type “ping 192.168.2.1″ then hit Enter. You should receive 4 replies. The statistic shows packet sent = 4, receive = 4, lost =0.
Then you can go to IE browser http://192.168.2.1 to login to the router.
Should you still fail to login to the router, proceed the Step 5 below.
5… In IE browser, click on Tools menu. Select Internet Connection. Click the Connections tab. The option of “never dial up a connection” should be selected.
Click the LAN Setting tab. Make sure none of the Proxy setting is enabled. Click on OK. Close the Connection windows. Try again to login to router http://192.168.2.1.
6…. Click Tools in IE browser. Select Internet Options. Click Security tab. Lower your security level if you use Default level.
If you use Custom level, make sure you enable the Active scripting and the scripting for Java applets.
my dad has a lap top with wire less connection and we have a home network with internet when he goes on he has inter net maybe you have to have a password ton your home computer.
It sound like you have a laptop and would to obtain a wireless connection to the internet. When you mention “home network” does this refer to an existing device called a Wireless Router that you have?
If yes, then you will need to use your laptop to wirelessly browse for networks and connect to yours.
If by home network, you mean a computer and your cable modem, then you will need to purchase a device called a wireless router. Almost any wireless router will do, the netgear ones seem to be very simple for beginner and advanced users.
