Installation and activation of
the NWL-15 router
Installing the router
After you have mounted the router and connected a power source, follow these steps to complete the installation process.
1.
Connect equipment that requires network access to the Ethernet port of your router. This may be your computer for
advanced configuration purposes, or your end equipment which requires data access via the NWL-15 router. You can
connect one device directly, or several devices using a network switch.
2.
Ensure the external power source is switched on and wait 2 minutes for your NWL-15 router to start up. To check the
status of your router, compare the LED indicators on the device with those listed on page 8 of this guide.
3.
Open a web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari), type
http://192.168.1.1
into the address bar and press Enter.
The web-based user interface log in screen is displayed.

For security reasons, we highly recommend that you change the passwords for the root and admin accounts upon initial
installation. You can do so by navigating via the menu to the System and then Administration page.
