How Do I Configure the Wireless Home Gateway?
Setting Configuration Options
Use the
Setup
page to access the various configuration options for the wireless home
gateway. Detailed descriptions of each configuration option follow later in this
guide.
Open your Internet browser and enter the IP address
192.168.0.1
into the Address
field of your browser. A password window similar to the following window opens:
Leave the user name blank, enter your password, and then click
OK
. If the password
is correct, the
Setup
page opens.
First Time Users
To access the
Setup
page, leave the user name and password fields blank. Then click
OK
to continue. Your browser will be automatically directed to the
Password
Settings
setup page. Enter the password you wish to use in the 2 password fields
and click
Apply
.
Important: We highly recommend that you set up a password to prevent
unauthorized access to the setup pages of your gateway.
Your new password becomes effective immediately. The password window
reappears. Enter your new password to gain access to the
Setup
page.
Note:
The gateway ships from the factory without a factory-assigned default
password. You will be prompted to set up a password. Although it is not required to
setup a password, and should you elect not to set up a password, every time you
attempt to access the
Setup
page, you will be prompted to set up a password.
If you choose
not
to enter a password, leave the password setup fields blank and
click
Apply
to continue directly to the Setup webpage. See
Configuring Your
Password Settings
(on page 62) for assistance in setting up your password.
