Connecting the Firewall to the Internet

You are now connected to the Internet! 

Here are some tips for correcting simple problems you may have.

Be sure to restart your network in this sequence: 

1. Turn off the VPN firewall, shut down the computer, and unplug and turn off the modem.

2. Turn on the modem and wait two minutes

3. Turn on the VPN firewall and wait one minute

4. Turn on the computer. 

Make sure the Ethernet cables are securely plugged in. 

Note: The Smart Wizard Configuration Assistant only appears when the firewall is in 

its factory default state. After you configure the VPN firewall, it will not 
appear again. You can always connect to the firewall to change its settings. To 
do so, open a browser such as Internet Explorer and go to http://
www.routerlogin.net. Then, when prompted, enter admin as the user name 
and password for the password both in lower case letters.
