•
RV016:
Connect an Ethernet cable from the
Internet 2
port to a second
broadband network device.
STEP
4
To connect a computer or server that will be a DMZ host:
•
RV042, RV042G, and RV082:
Connect an Ethernet cable from the
DMZ/
Internet
port to the DMZ host.
•
RV016:
Connect an Ethernet cable from the
DMZ
port to the DMZ host.
STEP
5
To connect other network devices, such as computers, print servers, or Ethernet
switches, connect an Ethernet cable from a numbered LAN port to the network
device.
STEP 6
Power on the broadband network device(s).
STEP
7
Use the power adapter (RV042 and RV042G) or the power cable (RV082 and
RV016) to connect the router to a power outlet. The System status light is green.
STEP
8
Power on the other network devices.
Getting Started with the Configuration
STEP 1
Connect a computer to a numbered LAN port on the router. Your PC will become a
DHCP client of the router and will receive an IP address in the 192.168.1.x range.
STEP
2
Start a web browser. To use the configuration utility, you need a PC with Internet
Explorer (version 6 and higher), Firefox, or Safari (for Mac).
STEP
3
In the address bar, enter the default IP address of the router:
192.168.1.1
STEP 4
When the login page appears, enter the default user name
admin
and the default
password
admin
(lowercase).
STEP
5
Click
Login
. The
System Summary
page appears.
The router’s default settings are sufficient for many small businesses. Your Internet
Service Provider may require additional settings. On the
System Summary
page,
check the WAN Status to see if the router was able to receive an IP Address. If not,
continue to the next step.

Troubleshooting Tips
If you have trouble connecting to the Internet or the web-based configuration
utility:
•
Verify that your web browser is not set to Work Offline.
•
Check the Local Area Connection settings for your Ethernet adapter. The PC
needs to obtain an IP address through DHCP. Alternatively, it can have a
static IP address in the 192.168.1.x range with the default gateway set to
192.168.1.1 (the router’s default IP address).
•
Verify that you entered the correct settings in the Wizard to set up your
Internet connection, including the username and password if required.
•
Try resetting the modem and the router by powering off both devices. Next,
power on the modem and let it sit idle for about 2 minutes. Then power on
the router. You should now receive a WAN IP address.
•
Check the DHCP IP address range of your modem. If the modem uses the
192.168.1.x range, disconnect the cable from the modem to the router, and
then launch the router configuration utility. In the navigation tree, choose
Setup > Network
. Enter a new Device IP Address, such as 10.1.1.1 or
192.168.0.1. Alternatively, if you have a DSL modem, leave all settings as is
and instead ask your ISP to put the DSL modem into bridge mode.
