Logging into the Router
You will see the Router’s home page in your browser window. The home page is

Logging out of the Router
One computer at a time can log in to the Router for the purposes of making
changes to the settings of the Router. Once a user has logged in to make
changes, there are two ways that the computer can be logged out. Clicking the
“Logout” button will log the computer out. The second method is automatic. The
login will time out after a specified period of time. The default login time out is
10 minutes. This can be changed from 1 to 99 minutes. For more information,
see the section in this manual titled “Changing the Login Timeout Setting”.

Understanding the Web-Based Advanced User Interface
The home page is the first page you will see when you access the Advanced User
Interface (UI). The home page shows you a quick view of the Router’s status and
settings. All advanced setup pages can be reached from this page.
1. Quick-Navigation Links
You can go directly to any of the Router’s advanced UI pages by clicking
directly on these links. The links are divided into logical categories and
grouped by tabs to make finding a particular setting easier to find. Clicking
on the purple header of each tab will show you a short description of the
tab’s function.
2. Home Button
The home button is available in every page of the UI. Pressing this button
will take you back to the home page.
3. Internet Status Indicator
This indicator is visible in all pages of the Router, indicating the connection
status of the Router. When the indicator says “connection OK” in GREEN, the
Router is connected to the Internet. When the Router is not connected to the
Internet, the indicator will read “no connection” in RED. The indicator is
automatically updated when you make changes to the settings of the Router.

Step 4: Configuring your Router for Connection to your ISP
The “Internet/WAN” tab is where you will set up your Router to connect to your
Internet Service Provider. The Router is capable of connecting to virtually any
Internet Service Provider’s system provided you have correctly configured the Router’s
settings for your ISP’s connection type. Your ISP connection settings are provided to
you by your ISP. To configure the Router with the settings that your ISP gave you,
click “Connection Type”
(A)
on the left side of the screen. Select the connection
type you use. If your ISP gave you DNS settings, clicking “DNS”
(B)
allows you to
enter DNS address entries for ISPs that require specific settings. Clicking “MAC
address”
(C)
will let you clone your computer’s MAC address or type in a specific
WAN MAC address, if required by your ISP. When you have finished making settings,
the “Internet Status” indicator will read “connection OK” if your Router is set
up properly.
