Accessing the Router Home Page
Once your PCs have been properly configured, the router’s DHCP server will
automatically provide your LAN clients with an IP address.
NOTE:
Please make sure that the DHCP server on the router is the only DHCP server
available on your LAN. If necessary, you can turn off the router’s DHCP server. See LAN
on page 28 for details.
1. On one of your PCs, open your web browser. In the address field, enter the router’s
default IP address (192.168.2.1) and press Enter.
NOTE:
Your default home page may not load properly since the router has not been
configured. Enter the router’s IP address regardless of what appears on your screen.
2. Once the website has loaded, enter the User Name and Password and click OK. By
default, the User Name is admin and the password is 1234. You should change the
password as soon as possible (see Password Settings on page 19 for details). You will
now be on the router’s web-based management home page.
3. From the homepage, click on the Quick Setup Wizard link. The other sections
(General Setup, Status Information, and Tools) do NOT need to be configured to
access the Internet. For more information on these advanced features and settings, see
the appropriate section in the manual.
