8 Installing Your Router Using the Smart Wizard
The Smart Wizard guides you through installing your router, connecting your router to the
Internet, configuring your wireless network settings, and selecting the optimum security
protection for your network. If you choose not to select a security option during installation,
you can always access the router’s user interface later to select a security option (see
“Accessing Your Router After Installation and Checking for New Firmware” ).
You are now connected to the Internet!
To set up additional wireless computers in your network to access the router and connect to the
Internet, see “Setting Up Your Wireless Computers” on page 22 .
Accessing Your Router After Installation and
Checking for New Firmware
The Smart Wizard only appears when you first install the router or when the router is in its factory
default state (for example, if you have reset the router to its factory default settings). After
installing and configuring your router using the Smart Wizard, you must open a browser window
and log in to the router to make any additional modifications. You will also be prompted to check
for new router firmware.
To log in to the router after installation:
1.
Open a browser window and type
http://www.routerlogin.net
in the address field of your
browser. Press
Enter
.
To ensure optimum performance of your high-speed wireless router, the
wireless adapter card for each computer in your network should support the
same technology as your router (see the online
User Manual
for more
information).
You can enter any one of two addresses to connect to your wireless router:
http://www.routerlogin.net
or
http://www.routerlogin.com.
