3.0 Getting Started – Router Administration
As the onboard/onsite administrator, under normal operating conditions, you will seldom
have a need to interact with the user interface of the router. However, should you find
yourself in a position that requires you to login to the router, this Guide is designed to
help you.
Access the Optimizer User Interface
To access the Optimizer's user interface you must login to the router:
1. With power provided to the Optimizer, connect to the WiFi Hotspot created by the
router using a desktop or laptop computer. Connect to the WiFi Hotspot just like you
would any other WiFi connection:
On a Windows PC, go to: Windows Start > Control Panel > Network Connections
On a MAC, go to: Apple > System Preferences > Network
The Network Name will look something like: ‘wxa-112-XXXX’ where ‘XXXX’ may
represent the last four digits of the Optimizer Mac address. Select this wireless network.
2. Open any web browser on the computer and enter the URL: http://192.168.10.1
3. Login with the username = superadmin, password = webxaccess
This login gives you full access to the user interface. If you do not require full
access, there is an alternate login that provides limited access, restricted to use
of the optional RedPort Halo WiFi Extender. Alternate login: username = admin,
password = webxaccess
CAUTION: The Optimizer ships pre-configured for use with XGate satellite
email/data service and the optional RedPort Halo WiFi Extender. Tampering with any
settings that are not addressed in this Guide will violate the warranty and may render
the Optimizer inoperable.
