Wireless-N Broadband Router with Storage Link

Chapter 3:

Advanced Configuration

After setting up the Router with the Setup Wizard (located

on the CD-ROM), the Router will be ready for use. However,

if you want to change its advanced settings, use the

Router’s web-based utility. This chapter describes each

web page of the utility and each page’s key functions. You

can access the utility via a web browser on a computer

connected to the Router.

The web-based utility has these main tabs: Setup, Wireless,

Security, Storage, Access Restrictions, Applications &

Gaming, Administration, and Status. Additional tabs will

be available after you click one of the main tabs.

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.

Access the Web-Based Utility

To access the web-based utility, launch the web browser on

your computer, and enter the Router’s default IP address,

192.168.1.1, in the Address field. Then press Enter.

A login screen 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 > Management screen.) Click OK

to continue.

Setup > Basic Setup

The first screen that appears is the Basic Setup screen. This

allows you to change the Router’s general settings.

Setup > Basic Setup

Language

one from the drop-down menu. The language of the

web-based utility will change five seconds after you select

another language.

Changes to clear your changes.

obtained through your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
