Tenda Wireless Router Setup: Installation
1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect any LAN port of the router to the network interface on your computer.
2. Go to your computer’s Local Area Connection Properties -> Internet Protocol (TCP/IP): Set the IP address to 192.168.1.2.
3. IP Subnet Mask: Select 255.255.255.0.
4. Gateway: Set this to the router’s IP address, 192.168.1.1.
5. Open Internet Explorer and go to http://192.168.1.1 (assuming the router’s default IP address is 192.168.1.1). When prompted for a username and password, enter the router’s default credentials as provided in the included manual.
6. The default IP address varies by manufacturer, so please refer to the included manual for your specific model.

Tenda Wireless Router Setup: Computer Configuration
1. Right-click “Local Area Connection” → Properties → General → In the “This connection uses the following items” list, select “Internet Protocol” → Properties → Select “Obtain an IP address automatically” → Select “Obtain DNS server address automatically”.
2. Finally, the Ethernet cable from your ADSL modem should be connected to the router’s WAN port.
The Tenda wireless router setup is essentially complete at this point. However, for computers accessing the network wirelessly, running a physical cable may be impractical. Also, for a computer supporting external network access that you want to use with a dynamic domain name, you might wonder how to achieve this. How can you automatically obtain an internal IP address and use a dynamic domain name to enable external network access?
