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”
(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.
