Chapter 5: Configuring the Wireless-G Broadband

Router

Overview

You should always use the Setup CD-ROM when first installing the Router. If you do not wish to run the Setup

Wizard on the Setup CD-ROM, you can use the Web-based Utility to configure the Router. For advanced users, you

may configure the Router’s advanced settings through the 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

will use these two 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 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.) Click the OK button to continue.

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: When first installing the Router, you should

use the Setup Wizard on the Setup CD-ROM. If you

want to configure advanced settings, use this

chapter to learn about the Web-based Utility.
