How to determine the WAN configuration or Interntet configuration of a SOHO Router?
1. Connect the computer to the Modem via Ethernet cable. Make sure you are able to going online
2. After confirming you are online. Go to Start->Run. Type "cmd" on the Run window.
3. Type "ipconfig" on the command prompt or Black window or DOS window
4. You will be getting IP address,Subnet Mask and Default Gateway
There are 4 possibilities of IP address you can get
i)Public IP address under PPP adapter.
-Router has to be configured in PPPoE mode to get a WAN IP. This will require a Username and Password from ISP
ii) Public IP address under PPP adapter and Private IP address under Ethernet adapter
-Router has to be configured in PPPoE mode to get a WAN IP. This will require a Username and Password from ISP
iii)Public IP address under Ethernet adapter
-Router has to be configured in Dynamic IP or DHCP mode to get a WAN IP
-If it is still not getting a WAN IP address.
* Click Mac clone on the router's WAN configuration
* Power-cycle modem and Router.
iv)Just a Private IP address under Ethernet adapter
-Router has to be configured in Dynamic IP or DHCP mode to get a WAN IP
-If it is still not getting a WAN IP address.
* Power-cycle Modem and router.
After determining the WAN mode, it is time to configure the Router
1. Connect the Modem to the WAN port of the router. Connect the computer to the LAN port
2. Go to Start->Run. Type "cmd" on the Run window.
3. Type "ipconfig" on the command prompt or Black window or DOS window
4. You will be getting IP address,Subnet Mask and Default Gateway. The Default Gateway will the IP address of your router
5. Open a Web browser and type http://192.168.1.1(where this is the default IP of the router. This will be different from each manufacturer) on the address bar.
6. Go to WAN settings or Internet settings and select the options based on the above mentioned possibilities
From your public address or your wifi router? Public, call your internet provider. From your router change your wireless password, then on your devices. There are ways to get the devices MAC address and block it but that is for advanced users.
no. An IP address refers to an address that is attached to your network card (or your router). In most cases you will have what is considered a "Private" address (there is a range of addresses reserved for people to use in their private networks so that they don't get confused for things on the internet). So your computer will have a "private" address if you are behind a firewall, router, or internet service provider. You may be looking for your "public" address which would not allow someone to get to your computer from the internet, unless you had "port forwarding" set up in your router. Public addresses usually do not stick to your cable modem or dsl modem, and may change over time. If you need to figure out what your current Public IP address is you will want to go to google and type "what's my ip address" in the search, and it will show you (as well as some links to other web sites that will tell you what your IP address is). If you need to find your private IP address so that other computers on your private network can communicate with you, open the command prompt and type "ipconfg /all" and hit enter. This will give you a list of different adapters that you have on your computer, and what the IP Address is for each (you may have wireless, hard wired, even vpn adapters). The email address that is transmitted in the headers of your email is the public IP address of your mail server (or googles, or yahoos, or whatever your mail provider is).
Hope this helps.
go to start -- run and type in CMD hit enter to open a black command prompt window
type in "ipconfig" without the quotes and hit enter. This will give you your IP address.
If you need the IP address from your provider that you are using out on the public internet, just go to http://whatismyipaddress.com/ and it will tell you what your external public IP address is.
Private IP addresses are used either to hide systems from the public
Internet or to provide an additional range of addresses to
organizations that do not have sufficient public IP addresses to
distribute on their network. Organizations can use these numbers to
assign internal IP addresses without having to worry about an IP
address conflict or having to obtain a new block of IP addresses.
If you connect to the Internet as a
home user with a residential router, you will typically benefit from
this arrangement. Although you may be paying for only one IP address
through your Internet service provider (ISP), you can have unlimited
devices connected to the Internet. For example lets say you live in an apartment complex with only one mailbox. all the apartments have numbers but no matter what all the incoming and outgoing traffic goes to that one mailbox.
Hi Sravi, I posted this just now on another post but here it is in case you need it. Private IP addresses are used either to hide systems from the public
Internet or to provide an additional range of addresses to
organizations that do not have sufficient public IP addresses to
distribute on their network. Organizations can use these numbers to
assign internal IP addresses without having to worry about an IP
