Wired to Internet
Step 1: Connect power and Ethernet cable to IR305, connect WAN/LAN1 port to the public network, and one of LAN to PC.
Step 2: Configure the PC to be in the same network segment as the IP address of the router.
- Enable the PC to obtain an IP address from DHCP automatically (recommended).
- Or configure a fixed IP address in the same network segment as the router for PC. The IP address should be one of the addresses in 192.168.2.2~192.168.2.254, the Subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0, and the Default gateway should be 192.168.2.1. The DNS server should be 8.8.8.8 or the address of the ISP’s DNS server.
Step 3: Access the default IP address 192.168.2.1 in a browser, enter username and password (admin/123456 by default) in the pop-up window and then access the router’s WEB management page. If the browser alarms the connection is not private, show advanced, and proceed to access the address.
Step 4 : Create a WAN port in Network >> WAN in the left menu. Configure an IP address for the WAN port and let the router connect to the Internet. There are three methods to obtain an IP address: Dynamic DHCP (recommended), Static IP (Click Apply & Save after configuring manually), and ADSL Dialup (Click Apply & Save after configuring manually).
Obtain IP address by Dynamic Address (DHCP)
Obtain IP address by Static IP
Obtain IP address by ADSL Dialup
Step 5: Check the connectivity in Tools >> PING.
SIM Card Dialup
Check the dialup status in Status, if it shows Connected and there is an IP address and other dialup parameters, the router has connected to the Internet by SIM card.
