Chapter 5: Configuring the Wireless-B Broadband Router

The Broadband Router has been designed to be functional right out of the box with the default settings in the 
Setup Wizard. However, if you’d like to change these settings, use the Router’s 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 only have to 
use the following 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 six main tabs: Setup, Wireless, Security, 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. (Users of other versions of Windows 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.) Then click the OK button. 

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: The Router is designed to function properly after 
connecting the Router to your network. This chapter is 
provided solely for those who wish to perform more 
advanced configuration or monitoring.
