Access the Web Manager
Once the computer has IP settings that allow it to access the web-based configuration software, you can change
the settings to enable the Router to connect to the Internet.
If the browser software on the computer you are using is configured to use a proxy server for Internet access, it is
necessary to first disable the proxy connection.
Check for Proxy service in Windows Internet Explorer:
In Windows Internet Explorer, you can check if a proxy server is enabled using the following procedure:
1. From the Start menu, go to Control Panel , or Settings then Control Panel .
2. In the Control Panel window, double-click on the Internet Options icon.
3. Click the Connections tab and click on the LAN Settings… button near the bottom.
4. Verify that the “Use a proxy server” option is NOT checked. If it is checked, click in the checkbox to
deselect the option and click OK and OK again. Close the Control Panel window.
To use the web-based management software, launch your web browser software and use the LAN IP address of
the Router to access the management software. The default LAN IP address of the Router is used in the Address
bar of your web browser window. Type in
http:// followed by the default IP address, 10.1.1.1 in the address bar
of the browser. The URL in the address bar should read: http://10.1.1.1
A new window appears prompting you for a user name and password needed to gain access the web
configuration manager.
Use the default system user name: admin and password: admin for first time set up. You can change the
password once you have established the ADSL connection. The user name and password allows any computer on
the same subnet as the Router to access the web configuration manger. This password can also be used to Telnet
to the device through the Ethernet or the Internet interfaces. To change this password, see the next chapter.
When you successfully login the Home directory tab will display the Setup Wizard menu. You can launch the
Setup Wizard from this page or use the menu buttons located in the left panel of the web page to view other
menus used for basic configuration. You may use the Setup Wizard if your Internet connection is a PPPoE
connection. If you are using a PPPoE and connection and want to use the Setup Wizard, follow the instructions
below. If your Internet connection is a PPPoA, Bridge, Static IP, or Dynamic IP type connection, you should
