Logging out of the Router

One computer at a time can log into 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

one to 99 minutes. For more information, see the section in this manual

titled “Changing the Login Time-Out 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.

The “Internet/WAN” tab is where you will set up your Router to connect

to your Internet Service Provider (ISP). The Router is capable of

connecting to virtually any ISP’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”

your ISP gave you DNS settings, clicking “DNS” (B) allows you to enter

DNS address entries for ISPs that require specific settings. Clicking

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.
