The router provides a web-based management interface for configuring
device features and viewing statistics to monitor network activity. This
interface can be accessed by any computer on the network using a
standard web browser (such as Internet Explorer 5.0, Netscape 6.2, Mozilla
Firefox 2.0, or above).
To make an initial connection to the management interface, connect a PC
to one of the router’s LAN ports. Set your PC with a static address within
the same subnet as that used by the router (that is, 192.168.2.x with the
subnet mask 255.255.255.0).
To access the configuration menu, follow these steps:
1.
Use your web browser to connect to the management interface using
the default IP address of 192.168.2.1.
