Configuration after First Time Login

If you are logging into your router for the first time (after purchase of device) then you need to make some configuration settings to put your router into smooth running condition. It's very easy to do so, just follow below instructions:

1. Follow the instructions in the "Welcome to the Quick Setup" screen, then click Next.
   
2. At the top of the next window, select PPPoE or DHCP.
   
3. If PPPoE was selected in step 2, the default username and password are entered in the appropriate text boxes. If "DHCP" was selected, go to step 4.
   
4. If PPPoE was selected in step 2, select the IP type ("Dynamic IP-DHCP [Default]" or "Single Static IP Address"). If Single Static IP Address was selected, enter the address in the appropriate text box.
   
5. Optional - Select the DNS type ("Dynamic DNS Addresses [Default]" or "Static DNS Addresses"). If Static DNS Addresses was selected, enter the primary and secondary DNS addresses in the appropriate text boxes. If unsure what to enter in this section, contact the ISP.

The Power light flashes rapidly while the Gateway restarts, then glows steadily green when fully operational. The Internet light will also glow steadily green.

Ensure all the information required by the ISP is entered correctly.
