Testing Basic Wireless Connectivity

Once you have established basic wireless connectivity, you can enable security settings 
appropriate to your needs.

To set up and test basic wireless connectivity: 

1.

Log in to the N300 Wireless router by entering 

http://www.routerlogin.net 

or 

http://www.routerlogin.com

 in the address field of your browser. Enter the default user name 

of 

admin 

and default password of 

password. 

2.

Click 

Enter

 and select

 Wireless Settings 

from the main menu.

3.

Check the wireless configuration settings on all of your client devices and then test your 
computers for wireless connectivity.

Make sure that the wireless adapter on your computers has the same wireless network 
name (SSID) as the N300 Wireless router. 

Make sure that the wireless security selection and password is the same on the router and 
all your client devices.

Make sure all devices are powered on and that the N300 Wireless router’s power button is 
in the on (depressed) position.

Check that they have a wireless link and are able to obtain an IP address by DHCP from 
the wireless router.

Your N300 Wireless router is now configured to provide Internet access for your network. Your 
N300 Wireless router automatically connects to the Internet when one of your computers requires 
access. It is not necessary to run a dialer or login application such as Dial-Up Networking or 
Enternet to connect, log in, or disconnect. These functions are performed automatically by the 
N300 Wireless router as needed.

To access the Internet from any computer connected to your N300 Wireless router, launch a 
browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Firefox. You should see the N300 Wireless 
router’s Internet LED blink, indicating communication to the ISP. The browser should begin to 
display a Web page.
