Chapter 5: Configuring the Wireless-G Broadband Router

When you first install the Router, you should use the Setup CD-ROM to make sure all settings are correct. If you do 
not wish to run the Setup Wizard on the Setup CD-ROM, then you can use the Web-based Utility to configure the 
Router. Advanced users can 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 the 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 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. (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.) 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: When installing the Router for the first-
time installation, 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.
