Chapter 6: Configuring the Wireless-G Broadband Router
Overview
The Broadband Router has been designed to be functional right out of the box with the default settings in the
Setup Wizard. However, if you’d like to change these settings, use the Router’s web-based utility. This chapter
will describe each web page in the Utility and each page’s key functions. The utility can be accessed via your web
browser through use of a computer connected to the Router. For a basic network setup, most users only have to
use the following screens of the Utility:
• Basic Setup. On the Basic Setup screen, enter the settings provided by your ISP.
• Management. Click the
Administration
tab and then the
Management
tab. The Router’s default password is
admin. To secure the Router, change the Password from its default.
There are seven main tabs: Setup, Wireless, Security, Access Restrictions, Applications & Gaming,
Administration, and Status. Additional tabs will be available after you click one of the main tabs.
To access the web-based utility, launch Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, and enter the Router’s default IP
address, 192.168.1.1, in the Address field. Then press
Enter
.
A password request page, shown in Figure 6-1 will appear. (non-Windows XP users will see a similar screen.)
Leave the User Name field blank. The first time you open the Web-Based Utility, use the default password
admin
.
(You can set a new password from the Administration tab’s Management screen.) Then click the
OK
button.
Have You:
Enabled TCP/IP on your PCs? PCs
communicate over the network with this protocol.
Refer to Appendix D: Windows Help for more
information on TCP/IP.
Note:
The Router is designed to function properly after
connecting the Router to your network. This chapter is
provided solely for those who wish to perform more
advanced configuration or monitoring.
