We have a older cable modem here. 51 00:02:33,630 --> 00:02:36,960 Okay? And so this is the power connector 52 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,140 and we have two ports of note. 53 00:02:40,140 --> 00:02:42,843 Here, we have the coax port, 54 00:02:43,860 --> 00:02:48,690 which you could call RG6 or an F connector. 55 00:02:48,690 --> 00:02:50,940 And here we have the RJ45 port 56 00:02:50,940 --> 00:02:53,040 for the connection to the router. 57 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,980 This goes out to the provider. This goes to the router. 58 00:02:55,980 --> 00:03:00,840 So you would need to have a coax cable 59 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,983 with an F connector and that screws onto this. 60 00:03:06,750 --> 00:03:08,220 That's how you do it with a cable modem 61 00:03:08,220 --> 00:03:11,490 or with a TV, standard stuff. 62 00:03:11,490 --> 00:03:13,050 If you have a DVR box or whatever, 63 00:03:13,050 --> 00:03:15,210 if you have cable TV or cable internet, 64 00:03:15,210 --> 00:03:16,050 this is what you're using. 65 00:03:16,050 --> 00:03:20,613 It's an RG6 cable with an F connector on the end. 66 00:03:22,110 --> 00:03:25,920 And again, the other end, RJ45 patch cable, 67 00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:28,233 right to the router. 68 00:03:29,310 --> 00:03:33,270 Now I'm not gonna connect to that particular cable mode. 69 00:03:33,270 --> 00:03:36,780 I'm gonna use a newer one that I actually have set up, 70 00:03:36,780 --> 00:03:38,610 but that's gonna connect from here. 71 00:03:38,610 --> 00:03:40,410 And then the cable modem that I have, 72 00:03:40,410 --> 00:03:43,470 will connect out to the ISP. 73 00:03:43,470 --> 00:03:46,170 All right, so let's start wiring this up. 74 00:03:46,170 --> 00:03:48,720 Okay. So we have a patch cable here. 75 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:53,160 Basic twisted pair patch cable with two RJ45 ends, 76 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:54,810 it's a straight through cable. 77 00:03:54,810 --> 00:03:56,610 We're gonna connect one end to the router 78 00:03:56,610 --> 00:03:58,460 and the other end to our cable modem. 79 00:04:01,050 --> 00:04:02,733 So one end to the internet port. 80 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,593 And again, the other end would normally go here. 81 00:04:10,140 --> 00:04:12,963 So I'm gonna connect this to the actual cable modem now. 82 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,410 Okay. So we've connected that up. 83 00:04:16,410 --> 00:04:17,940 And the cable modem is connected 84 00:04:17,940 --> 00:04:22,940 to the RG6 coax connector from the provider. 85 00:04:24,570 --> 00:04:26,070 Have another patch cable here, 86 00:04:28,830 --> 00:04:31,920 another standard ethernet twisted pair patch cable, 87 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,023 gonna connect one end to the laptop. 88 00:04:34,890 --> 00:04:36,483 And we've got a connector here. 89 00:04:41,010 --> 00:04:42,750 Nice port RJ45 ports. 90 00:04:42,750 --> 00:04:46,173 Some laptops don't have 'em, but a lot of them still do. 91 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,190 So that's a good thing because I want to be able 92 00:04:50,190 --> 00:04:52,530 to configure this guy in a wired fashion 93 00:04:52,530 --> 00:04:54,450 and we'll connect the other end 94 00:04:54,450 --> 00:04:56,730 to the switch portion of the router. 95 00:04:56,730 --> 00:04:59,580 Doesn't matter which port, I'll just use port one. 96 00:04:59,580 --> 00:05:02,010 Doesn't really make a difference though. 97 00:05:02,010 --> 00:05:03,780 And the thing about it is this, 98 00:05:03,780 --> 00:05:07,500 quite often you'll need an update on the device. 99 00:05:07,500 --> 00:05:09,210 So what I like to do is I like to connect 100 00:05:09,210 --> 00:05:11,943 in a wired fashion from the laptop. 101 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,780 That'll take care of the configuration of the device. 102 00:05:15,780 --> 00:05:18,120 But the laptop also has wireless connectivity 103 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,540 to an actual network, so I can download what I need. 104 00:05:21,540 --> 00:05:24,693 As far as updates through that wireless connection. 105 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,330 Then we'll connect our power for the router 106 00:05:34,110 --> 00:05:36,210 and I'm gonna boot it up. 107 00:05:36,210 --> 00:05:38,853 Now, after I boot it up, once it turns on, 108 00:05:40,290 --> 00:05:44,763 you'll see all the lights turning on, on the front. 109 00:05:47,700 --> 00:05:49,020 Now we'll give that a moment. 110 00:05:49,020 --> 00:05:51,153 And then what we wanna do is do a reset. 111 00:05:54,300 --> 00:05:57,090 Now, in some cases you have to press the button 112 00:05:57,090 --> 00:05:58,503 and hold the reset. 113 00:06:00,090 --> 00:06:03,243 In some cases you have to reset it just while it's running. 114 00:06:04,530 --> 00:06:06,060 Either way, you'd use a paperclip 115 00:06:06,060 --> 00:06:09,063 or similar tool to press in there. 116 00:06:10,140 --> 00:06:11,943 And you might have heard that click, 117 00:06:12,810 --> 00:06:15,990 you'll hear and feel a click when you actually 118 00:06:15,990 --> 00:06:17,880 get it in there and you may have to hold it 119 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,513 for five seconds, 10 seconds, depends on the device. 120 00:06:24,270 --> 00:06:27,153 And you'll see the lights actually change. 121 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,770 And if we look on the front here, as I do this, 122 00:06:31,770 --> 00:06:34,653 you could see the power button blinking. 123 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,643 And if we let go, that should reset it. 124 00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:41,940 Okay?

So what we do here 165 00:08:35,100 --> 00:08:37,893 is we'd go to change adapter options. 166 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,520 And here we see our connections. 167 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:42,750 Here's our ethernet connection. 168 00:08:42,750 --> 00:08:44,910 That's the wired connection, 169 00:08:44,910 --> 00:08:47,700 we'll right click on that, go to properties. 170 00:08:47,700 --> 00:08:49,050 And from the ethernet properties, 171 00:08:49,050 --> 00:08:53,940 we want to change the TCPIP version four, 172 00:08:53,940 --> 00:08:56,970 the internet protocol for information. 173 00:08:56,970 --> 00:08:59,046 Now let's take a look at it right now. 174 00:08:59,046 --> 00:09:03,900 Let's go to the command prompt and we'll do an IP config. 175 00:09:03,900 --> 00:09:08,900 And we'll take a look, well that ethernet adapter 176 00:09:09,330 --> 00:09:14,330 is getting an IP address automatically from that router, 177 00:09:14,351 --> 00:09:16,953 from that SOHO router, right? 178 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,470 This guy is handing out the IP to the laptop. 179 00:09:22,470 --> 00:09:26,850 I can tell it's default, 192.168.0. 180 00:09:26,850 --> 00:09:28,980 And this guy's getting 113. 181 00:09:28,980 --> 00:09:31,410 Because the default IP on the LAN side 182 00:09:31,410 --> 00:09:36,407 for a device like this is 192.168.0.1, right? 183 00:09:38,310 --> 00:09:41,250 We also have wifi connection and that is active 184 00:09:41,250 --> 00:09:42,930 and that has access to the internet. 185 00:09:42,930 --> 00:09:44,310 So if I need to download anything, 186 00:09:44,310 --> 00:09:47,453 I can use that wifi connection, but I wanna modify this. 187 00:09:47,453 --> 00:09:52,230 I wanna change this so that we can have connectivity 188 00:09:52,230 --> 00:09:54,120 to both networks, right from the get go. 189 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,660 I just, I wanna show how to do this in a static fashion. 190 00:09:57,660 --> 00:10:00,843 So go to IP version four, go to properties. 191 00:10:02,370 --> 00:10:05,160 And instead of obtaining the IP address automatically, 192 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,340 we're going to use the following IP address. 193 00:10:08,340 --> 00:10:13,340 And so I'm gonna change this to 192.168.0.254 194 00:10:17,340 --> 00:10:19,230 the last possible IP address 195 00:10:19,230 --> 00:10:22,080 that we could use on that network. 196 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,410 Cause you can't use 255, cause that's the broadcast 197 00:10:25,410 --> 00:10:27,654 and you can't use zero, cause that's the network number. 198 00:10:27,654 --> 00:10:30,660 So we have the choice between 1 and 254, 199 00:10:30,660 --> 00:10:32,880 as long as it isn't used already. 200 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,910 So I'm gonna use 254, press the tab button, 201 00:10:35,910 --> 00:10:39,780 that changed the subnet mask to a triple 255 automatically. 202 00:10:39,780 --> 00:10:43,650 And then the default gateway. Well that is this SOHO router. 203 00:10:43,650 --> 00:10:47,703 That's 192.168.0.1. 204 00:10:48,990 --> 00:10:50,640 And you can verify that just by looking 205 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,553 in your command prompt, default gateway. Right? 206 00:10:55,020 --> 00:10:59,070 All right. So we're going to click okay for that. 207 00:10:59,070 --> 00:11:00,600 So that applies. 208 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:05,463 And we'll go back to that guy and we'll go to advanced. 209 00:11:07,772 --> 00:11:08,790 And this is one of the great things 210 00:11:08,790 --> 00:11:10,230 about setting static addresses. 211 00:11:10,230 --> 00:11:12,540 You can have more than one. 212 00:11:12,540 --> 00:11:16,440 You can be on more than one IP network at the same time. 213 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,900 So we'll click add and we'll add the network 214 00:11:18,900 --> 00:11:20,013 that we want to go to. 215 00:11:21,870 --> 00:11:25,800 Ultimately, this is gonna be part of my test network. 216 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,110 I call it the BACN network. 217 00:11:28,110 --> 00:11:30,843 That's on the 10.252 network. 218 00:11:32,190 --> 00:11:34,340 So that's what I'm gonna add for this laptop. 219 00:11:34,340 --> 00:11:39,340 10.252 and this is going to be 0.132. 220 00:11:42,390 --> 00:11:44,880 Now if we press tab, by default, 221 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,760 Windows is gonna think this is going on a Class A, 222 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:52,760 Class Full 10 network and give it a 255 subnet mask. 223 00:11:53,610 --> 00:11:56,310 But we don't want that. We want this to be classless. 224 00:11:56,310 --> 00:11:58,590 We want it to be 10.252. 225 00:11:58,590 --> 00:12:02,010 That's what I want for this particular network. 226 00:12:02,010 --> 00:12:07,010 So we're gonna change the subnet mask to 255.255.0.0. 227 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,600 And what that effectively means is the network 228 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,489 is 10.252 and then the other two octets 229 00:12:13,489 --> 00:12:17,130 can be used for IP addresses for hosts. 230 00:12:17,130 --> 00:12:21,300 So we'll add that in and click okay. 231 00:12:21,300 --> 00:12:23,910 Now we have the two IPs here. 232 00:12:23,910 --> 00:12:26,430 We'll click okay for the IP properties 233 00:12:26,430 --> 00:12:29,493 and we'll click close for this. 234 00:12:30,810 --> 00:12:33,480 Then we'll go back to our command prompt 235 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,773 and run another IP config and take a look at what we have. 236 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,180 Okay. Here's the ethernet adapter. 237 00:12:42,180 --> 00:12:44,280 And instead of grabbing an IP address automatically 238 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,400 from the router, now we have two IP addresses 239 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:52,198 that we set the 192.168.0.254 240 00:12:52,198 --> 00:12:56,583 and the second 10.252.0.132. 241 00:12:58,890 --> 00:13:01,833 Okay. So all is well, so far. 242 00:13:03,150 --> 00:13:06,120 What I wanna do at this point is connect from the laptop 243 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:07,920 to the router so that we can configure 244 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,053 the firmware on that router. 245 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,600 And we do that from the browser. 246 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,689 So open Chrome here, and we're gonna connect 247 00:13:16,689 --> 00:13:21,510 to that guy right now and the default IP 248 00:13:21,510 --> 00:13:22,980 for this particular device. 249 00:13:22,980 --> 00:13:27,850 When you reset it is 192.168.0.1 250 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:31,923 and we'll press enter. 251 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,760 And it sees it, it sees the device. 252 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,240 We are connected and the defaults for this device 253 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,086 are admin and the password is admin. 254 00:13:42,086 --> 00:13:44,550 We're gonna change that of course. 255 00:13:44,550 --> 00:13:48,813 And we'll log in and we should get connectivity. 256 00:13:50,250 --> 00:13:51,663 All right. We're in. 257 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,410 All right. 258 00:13:55,410 --> 00:13:58,650 No, I don't want the browser to save the password. 259 00:13:58,650 --> 00:14:02,340 And so it always asks for a new username and password. 260 00:14:02,340 --> 00:14:03,780 You know, this is the kind of thing 261 00:14:03,780 --> 00:14:05,340 that you might have to redo 262 00:14:05,340 --> 00:14:08,100 if you upgrade the firmware on the device, 263 00:14:08,100 --> 00:14:09,903 but I'll put that in now. 264 00:14:11,340 --> 00:14:14,320 And now with this we'll type in the password 265 00:14:15,570 --> 00:14:18,330 and we wanna make sure that it's not set to low. 266 00:14:18,330 --> 00:14:21,450 We wanna have some type of power to this password, right? 267 00:14:21,450 --> 00:14:23,800 So you don't use things like the word password. 268 00:14:27,420 --> 00:14:30,660 Okay, and make sure you get something powerful in there 269 00:14:30,660 --> 00:14:33,750 that has uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, 270 00:14:33,750 --> 00:14:36,453 special characters, and then confirm it, 271 00:14:39,660 --> 00:14:42,663 confirm that, we enter that in. 272 00:14:45,750 --> 00:14:49,473 Okay. And we're gonna say no to saving the password. 273 00:14:50,310 --> 00:14:53,850 All right. Now I immediately want to go to advanced 274 00:14:53,850 --> 00:14:57,390 and I want to go and update the firmware. 275 00:14:57,390 --> 00:14:58,840 So we'll go to system tools 276 00:15:01,849 --> 00:15:03,513 and we'll go to firmware upgrade. 277 00:15:07,230 --> 00:15:10,110 Now, if you don't have access to the internet, 278 00:15:10,110 --> 00:15:11,910 it's gonna be tough to check for an upgrade, 279 00:15:11,910 --> 00:15:14,010 but we do have access, I believe. 280 00:15:14,010 --> 00:15:15,960 So we're gonna check for that upgrade now. 281 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,590 As I mentioned, we have that link light on here. 282 00:15:19,590 --> 00:15:22,320 We have that internet access link light here, 283 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,140 the little world, and that is green. 284 00:15:25,140 --> 00:15:26,970 So we should be good. 285 00:15:26,970 --> 00:15:31,440 Okay. And it tells us here that the firmware is up to date. 286 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,563 Okay. And you always wanna make sure you do check that, 287 00:15:35,700 --> 00:15:39,070 if not, we could download the firmware 288 00:15:39,930 --> 00:15:44,130 from the manufacturer website, save it to the laptop. 289 00:15:44,130 --> 00:15:46,740 And that's why I have that wifi connection. 290 00:15:46,740 --> 00:15:48,610 And then from here, we'd browse to it 291 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:51,363 and then run the upgrade. 292 00:15:52,830 --> 00:15:55,980 You could also grab it from a USB flash drive 293 00:15:55,980 --> 00:15:59,583 and connect that to USB port on the back of the device. 294 00:16:00,570 --> 00:16:04,620 Okay. All right. 295 00:16:04,620 --> 00:16:06,990 So we wanna make sure that firmware's up to date 296 00:16:06,990 --> 00:16:09,630 and that's really just a matter of putting 297 00:16:09,630 --> 00:16:13,080 the file in, upgrading it. 298 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:18,080 It'll reboot the device and it may reset all your stuff. 299 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:22,110 So that's why you wanna do the firmware update first. 300 00:16:22,110 --> 00:16:24,810 All right. So we did the username and password 301 00:16:24,810 --> 00:16:26,880 and in the quick setup, it's also a good idea 302 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:31,880 to change the time zone and we're in Eastern time. 303 00:16:32,730 --> 00:16:33,780 So let's select that. 304 00:16:36,090 --> 00:16:38,760 Okay. Now the internet connection type, 305 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,680 what are you gonna use? 306 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,580 Well, generally you set it to dynamic IP, 307 00:16:44,580 --> 00:16:47,793 which means that this device connects out 308 00:16:47,793 --> 00:16:52,793 by the RJ45 patch cable from the internet connection, 309 00:16:52,890 --> 00:16:55,380 goes out to the cable modem, goes out to your ISP, 310 00:16:55,380 --> 00:16:57,870 grabs the IP address automatically 311 00:16:57,870 --> 00:17:00,090 and all the supporting IP information. 312 00:17:00,090 --> 00:17:01,380 But again, that's too easy. 313 00:17:01,380 --> 00:17:03,130 So we're gonna set it up as static. 314 00:17:04,110 --> 00:17:06,453 Okay, we're gonna set that up as static. 315 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:12,320 But we're gonna go and do this from the advanced section. 316 00:17:12,420 --> 00:17:15,120 So we're gonna go directly to advanced 317 00:17:15,120 --> 00:17:19,410 and set all this information ourselves. 318 00:17:19,410 --> 00:17:22,590 And so the first part I wanna do is the local area network. 319 00:17:22,590 --> 00:17:26,070 I wanna get that local area network set up first. 320 00:17:26,070 --> 00:17:27,480 And again, you could do this. 321 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:28,920 You could do this step by step 322 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,462 with the simple setup if you want to. 323 00:17:31,462 --> 00:17:33,840 But as you go through these types of things, 324 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,090 you're gonna see that you're gonna have more complicated 325 00:17:36,090 --> 00:17:38,726 setups that you want to do in your order. 326 00:17:38,726 --> 00:17:41,190 So I wanna set up this LAN, 327 00:17:41,190 --> 00:17:43,164 this switched LAN set up first. 328 00:17:43,164 --> 00:17:47,610 By default this device is at 192.168.0.1. 329 00:17:47,610 --> 00:17:50,190 And we said, we don't want that. 330 00:17:50,190 --> 00:17:54,273 We want this device to be on the 10.252 network. 331 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,590 And the specific IP that I've selected 332 00:17:58,590 --> 00:18:02,223 for this device is 10.252.0.101. 333 00:18:03,810 --> 00:18:08,223 And the subnet mask has to be a double 255, 334 00:18:09,927 --> 00:18:14,927 255.255.0.0, that's what we want for this. 335 00:18:16,140 --> 00:18:17,760 Okay. And you can customize that 336 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,240 if you want to do subnetting or supernetting, 337 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:25,470 I'm just doing 255.255 because the IP network 338 00:18:25,470 --> 00:18:28,653 that I'm using for my test labs, 10.252. 339 00:18:29,610 --> 00:18:31,650 All right, now when we save this, 340 00:18:31,650 --> 00:18:33,510 we're gonna lose connectivity temporarily 341 00:18:33,510 --> 00:18:34,710 because right now in the browser, 342 00:18:34,710 --> 00:18:36,863 we're connected to the router as 192.168.0.1. 343 00:18:38,730 --> 00:18:42,060 So we're gonna have to reconnect to that new IP, 344 00:18:42,060 --> 00:18:47,060 but again, that's why I set up this secondary IP. 345 00:18:47,070 --> 00:18:49,890 Now again, you might be able to connect again with DHCP. 346 00:18:49,890 --> 00:18:52,440 You might have to restart this laptop, 347 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:53,894 but this way I have connectivity 348 00:18:53,894 --> 00:18:58,410 to both types of networks from the get go. 349 00:18:58,410 --> 00:19:00,570 So different ways to do it. And that's up to you. 350 00:19:00,570 --> 00:19:05,160 If it works. I wanted to show the static IPs as well here. 351 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,050 Now, in some cases, the router will skip 352 00:19:07,050 --> 00:19:08,250 to the new login page. 353 00:19:08,250 --> 00:19:12,180 So if you do have this set up as DHCP, 354 00:19:12,180 --> 00:19:15,753 it'll automatically reconnect to the new IP network. 355 00:19:16,890 --> 00:19:19,080 All right. But I do plan on using this laptop 356 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,210 in a static fashion anyway. 357 00:19:21,210 --> 00:19:22,680 All right. And here we go. 358 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,060 And we've gotta put in the new information here 359 00:19:28,530 --> 00:19:33,530 that we added before and we are authenticated. 360 00:19:33,810 --> 00:19:34,773 So we're good. 361 00:19:36,570 --> 00:19:41,570 All right, go back to advanced, 362 00:19:41,610 --> 00:19:44,250 go to our network and we set up the LAN already. 363 00:19:44,250 --> 00:19:47,583 That's what we want. And the internet connection. 364 00:19:48,690 --> 00:19:51,220 We're gonna set this up in a static fashion 365 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:56,520 because I have multiple IPs and multiple ISPs, 366 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,230 multiple internet service providers, 367 00:19:58,230 --> 00:19:59,760 and multiple IP addresses. 368 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,691 And you'll see this kind of stuff sometimes. 369 00:20:01,691 --> 00:20:05,610 And if you wanna run any, say web servers, 370 00:20:05,610 --> 00:20:08,700 or other types of servers directly off of this, 371 00:20:08,700 --> 00:20:11,040 chances are you're gonna wanna have a static IP. 372 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,478 You could use something like a DIN service, 373 00:20:13,478 --> 00:20:16,980 but chances are you're gonna wanna use a static IP. 374 00:20:16,980 --> 00:20:20,553 So the IP address that I wanna use, 375 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,060 and all the supporting information 376 00:20:24,060 --> 00:20:27,180 is normally gonna be supplied to you by your provider. 377 00:20:27,180 --> 00:20:29,550 By your internet service provider. 378 00:20:29,550 --> 00:20:33,150 All right. So that information has been supplied to me. 379 00:20:33,150 --> 00:20:35,010 And I'm gonna enter that in now. 380 00:20:35,010 --> 00:20:39,427 The IP address for this guy is gonna be 216.164.222.204. 381 00:20:42,630 --> 00:20:47,630 The subnet mask is 255.255.255.248. 382 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,570 So we have our own little subnet here 383 00:20:51,570 --> 00:20:54,660 and block of IP addresses that I've been given, 384 00:20:54,660 --> 00:20:58,293 that I've asked for and paid for and have been given. 385 00:20:59,250 --> 00:21:01,110 Okay. Gateway address. 386 00:21:01,110 --> 00:21:03,631 That's gonna be, it's kind of like, okay, 387 00:21:03,631 --> 00:21:05,880 this laptop looks at this device 388 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,610 as the gateway out to the internet. 389 00:21:08,610 --> 00:21:12,003 But this has to look for the gateway at the ISP, 390 00:21:13,500 --> 00:21:17,310 which will normally be on the same IP network, 391 00:21:17,310 --> 00:21:20,823 on this WAN side here, on this public side. 392 00:21:21,750 --> 00:21:26,750 And indeed it is 216.164.222.201. 393 00:21:29,820 --> 00:21:33,330 And that's a .201. 394 00:21:33,330 --> 00:21:36,630 So that's my personal gateway IP address there. 395 00:21:36,630 --> 00:21:39,180 So the first three octets are the same as the IP. 396 00:21:39,180 --> 00:21:40,590 It's just that last octet. 397 00:21:40,590 --> 00:21:45,150 And I actually have from 202 up to 210. 398 00:21:45,150 --> 00:21:46,980 Okay. Then we need to know the DNS servers, 399 00:21:46,980 --> 00:21:48,827 so that we can do resolution from IP address 400 00:21:48,827 --> 00:21:52,650 to domain name, from domain name to IP address. 401 00:21:52,650 --> 00:21:54,720 If we ever connect to a domain like Google 402 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:59,130 or example.com or whatever, that's gotta get resolved to IP. 403 00:21:59,130 --> 00:22:01,200 So we need to know the DNS servers 404 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:05,010 that this guy will look for out at the ISP. 405 00:22:05,010 --> 00:22:07,900 So DNS server, we have 207.172.3.8. 406 00:22:11,430 --> 00:22:16,430 And then for the secondary DNS server, 207.172.3.9. 407 00:22:18,360 --> 00:22:19,860 And you could use other DNS servers. 408 00:22:19,860 --> 00:22:22,830 You know, you could use the 8.8.8.8. 409 00:22:22,830 --> 00:22:25,590 And there's a lot of public DNS servers that you could use. 410 00:22:25,590 --> 00:22:28,080 And there's pros and cons to using those. 411 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:32,430 I'm just gonna go with the ISP supplied DNS server for this. 412 00:22:32,430 --> 00:22:35,430 And the key here is we're using this as a static IP, 413 00:22:35,430 --> 00:22:36,930 as opposed to dynamic. 414 00:22:36,930 --> 00:22:38,490 Dynamic's so easy. 415 00:22:38,490 --> 00:22:40,320 It just grabs the information from the ISP. 416 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,660 You plug everything in and then this hands out 417 00:22:42,660 --> 00:22:45,720 IP addresses to your computers automatically. 418 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:47,790 I mean, generally that type of setup is, 419 00:22:47,790 --> 00:22:49,500 there's not much for you to do. 420 00:22:49,500 --> 00:22:50,730 So, that's why I want to show 421 00:22:50,730 --> 00:22:54,360 all this static configurations 422 00:22:54,360 --> 00:22:55,443 and click save. 423 00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:01,280 And we wanna make sure that we still have connectivity. 424 00:23:01,710 --> 00:23:04,200 You might have noticed as I was flying through the screens 425 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,980 that this actually did get information similar to 426 00:23:07,980 --> 00:23:10,770 if not at exact, for what I wanted. 427 00:23:10,770 --> 00:23:13,290 So it grabbed that automatically dynamically, 428 00:23:13,290 --> 00:23:16,860 but we don't want that, I want this static. 429 00:23:16,860 --> 00:23:20,160 Cause I have other routers using IP addresses 430 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,590 in my IP subset here. 431 00:23:22,590 --> 00:23:24,390 But the key is that we have that, 432 00:23:26,910 --> 00:23:31,713 that green world LED icon lit, 433 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:34,800 and then we wanna test it. 434 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,870 Just looking at the light's not enough. 435 00:23:36,870 --> 00:23:39,513 So we'll go down here to system tools, 436 00:23:41,340 --> 00:23:45,510 diagnostics, and we'll choose ping. 437 00:23:45,510 --> 00:23:48,153 So you can do a ping directly from this device. 438 00:23:49,230 --> 00:23:52,233 And so for example, we'll try pinging dprocomputer.com. 439 00:23:56,340 --> 00:23:58,563 Start the ping and see what happens. 440 00:24:00,870 --> 00:24:02,703 Okay. And we get replies. 441 00:24:04,950 --> 00:24:07,530 Little bit of a lag, but that's okay. 442 00:24:07,530 --> 00:24:09,720 80 milliseconds that's cause that server's 443 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,820 on the other side of the country. 444 00:24:11,820 --> 00:24:14,550 Right? You could also do this from the client side 445 00:24:14,550 --> 00:24:17,190 to make sure that your client connectivity's working. 446 00:24:17,190 --> 00:24:20,370 Do a ping from your command prompt in Windows. 447 00:24:20,370 --> 00:24:21,840 All right. But you always want to test, 448 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,540 you wanna make sure that your testing your device, 449 00:24:24,540 --> 00:24:26,043 make sure it works properly. 450 00:24:27,180 --> 00:24:29,320 Okay. So let's go and set up the wireless now. 451 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,973 We'll go to wireless and go to wireless settings. 452 00:24:34,530 --> 00:24:36,930 Okay.
