Run Quick Setup
Step 1:

The default IP Address of CPE is 192.168.0.254,we can change it to other IP addresses to fit in the main router’s network.For example,if the main modem/router’s IP Address is 192.168.1.1,we can set up the CPE510 as 192.168.1.* (*=2~254)，Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 .
It is also fine to leave it as the default value if you are not sure about the main router’s IP address,then click Next.
