available.
Updating the Router’s Firmware
In the “Firmware update” page, click “Browse”. A window will open that allows
you to select the location of the firmware update file.
Changing System Settings
The “System Settings” page is where you can enter a new administrator
password, set the time zone, enable remote management, and turn on and off
the UPnP function of the Router.
Setting or Changing the Administrator Password
The Router ships with NO password entered. If you wish to add a password for
greater security, you can set a password here. Write down your password and
keep it in a safe place, as you will need it if you need to log into the Router in the
future. It is also recommended that you set a password if you plan to use the
remote management feature of your Router.
Changing the Login Time-Out Setting
The login time-out option allows you to set the period of time that you can be
logged into the Router’s Web-Based Advanced User Interface. The timer starts
when there has been no activity. For example, you have made some changes in
the Web-Based Advanced User Interface, then left your computer alone without
clicking “Logout”. Assuming the time-out is set to 10 minutes, then 10 minutes
after you leave, the login session will expire. You will have to log into the Router
again to make any more changes. The login time-out option is for security
purposes and the default is set to 10 minutes.
Note: Only one computer can be logged into the Router’s Web-Based Advanced
User Interface at one time.
Setting the Time and Time Zone
The Router keeps time by connecting to a Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP)
server. This allows the Router to synchronize the system clock to the global
Internet. The synchronized clock in the Router is used to record the security log
and control client filtering. Select the time zone that you reside in. If you reside in
an area that observes daylight saving, then place a check mark in the box next to
“Automatically Adjust Daylight Saving”. The system clock may not update
