Step 2:
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.

 Step 3:
Customize your wireless name (SSID) and password

SSID: (Rename Your Wireless Name)
