5.3 Change the default Admin & User passwords
This router ships with default passwords to enable new owners and authorised users to set it
up. It is very important that the default
Admin
and
User
passwords are changed. Failing to do
so may lead to unauthorised access of the router, network or computer.
Note:
This router features a built-in web server that allows remote management via the
Internet. For your security, this feature is disabled by default. We strongly recommend that if
you want to enable this feature,
change the default passwords!
