Chapter 5: Configuring the Router
Now that the Router is connected to your network, this chapter will walk you through a quick configuration.
1. Open your web browser and type
http://192.168.1.1
in the browser’s Address box. This number is the
Router’s default IP address. Press the
Enter
key.
2. A User Name and Password prompt will appear. Leave the User Name field empty, and type
admin
(the
default password) in the
Password
field. Click the
OK
button. If the screen does not appear, make sure your
network adapter is working properly, the network cable is connected, and the Router’s LED is lit up for the
port where you’re connected.
