Chapter 6: Setting Up and
Configuring the Router
Overview
The Wireless Router has been designed to be functional right out of the box with the default settings.
However, if you'd like to change these settings, the Wireless Router can be configured through your web
browser with the Web-based Utility. This chapter explains how to use the Utility to perform the most basic
settings.
The Utility can be accessed via web browsers, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox
through the use of a computer that is networked with the Wireless Router.
Basic Setup
For a basic network setup, most users only need to use the following screens of the Utility:
•Setup->WAN Click the
Setup
tab and then select the
WAN
screen. Select the appropriate Internet
Connection Type according to your ISP if connecting your WAN port to the WAN (DSL or cable modem).
Otherwise, most cases can leave the default setting to get a WAN port IP address from a DHCP server.
•Setup->Advanced Routing Click the
Setup
tab and then select the
Advanced Routing
screen. If you are
connecting the Router to the Internet, leave the default setting. Otherwise, choose the
Intranet Router
Operation Mode to disable NAT (Network Address Translation).
•Management Click the
Administration
tab and then select the
Management
screen. Change the access
password for the Router’s Web-based Utility. The default username and password are
admin
.
Most users will also customize their wireless settings:
•Wireless On the
Wireless
screen, change the default SSID on the
Basic Settings
Tab. Select the level of
security under the
Security Settings
Tab and complete the options for the selected security mode. When
the appropriate security mode is configured, disable
SSID Broadcast
on the
Basic Settings
Tab.
There are two ways to connect to your Wireless Router for the first time.
1. Connect your PC to one of the four LAN ports on the Router. (Refer to "Chapter 5: Connecting the
Router.") Then, configure your PC to obtain IP address automatically through a DHCP server.
2. Although it is not recommended, you can also connect your PC wirelessly to the Wireless Router. Then,
configure the wireless interface of your PC to obtain IP address automatically through a DHCP server.
It is not recommended, because you can easily lose your connection through wireless configuration
changes.
To access the Web-based Utility of the Router:
•Launch a web browser, such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox, and enter the Router’s default IP
address,
192.168.1.1
, in the
Address
field. Press the
Enter
key.
•A screen will appear asking you for your User name and Password. Enter
admin
in the
User Name
field,
and enter your password (default password is
admin
) in the
Password
field. Then click the
OK
button.
