are explained in further detail below.

Overview
Setting Up and Configuring the Router
Setting Up and Configuring the Router
Overview
The Wireless Router has been designed to be functional right out of the box with the default
settings. However, if you'd like to change these settings, the Wireless Router can be configured
through your web browser with the Web-based Utility. This chapter explains how to use the
Utility to perform the most basic settings.
The Utility can be accessed via web browsers, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla
Firefox through the use of a computer that is networked with the Wireless Router.
Basic Setup
For a basic network setup, most users only need to use the following screens of the Utility:
•
Setup->WAN
Click the
Setup
tab and then select the
WAN
screen. Select the appropriate Internet
Connection Type according to your ISP if connecting your WAN port to the WAN (DSL or
cable modem). Otherwise, most cases can leave the default setting to get a WAN port IP
address from a DHCP server.
•
Setup->Advanced Routing
Click the
Setup
tab and then select the
Advanced Routing
screen. If you are
connecting the Router to the Internet, leave the default setting. Otherwise, choose the
Router
Operation Mode to disable NAT (Network Address Translation).
•
Management
Click the
Administration
tab and then select the
Management screen
. Change the
access password for the Router’s Web-based Utility. The default username and password
are
admin
.
Most users will also customize their wireless settings:
•
Wireless
On the
Wireless
screen, change the default SSID on the
Basic Settings
Tab. Select the
level of security under the
Security Settings
Tab and complete the options for the
selected security mode. When the appropriate security mode is configured, disable
SSID
Broadcast
on the
Basic Settings
Tab.
How to Access the Web-based Utility
There are two ways to connect to your Wireless Router for the first time.
1.
Connect your PC to one of the four LAN ports on the Router. (Refer to "Chapter 5:
Connecting the Router.") Then, configure your PC to obtain IP address automatically
through a DHCP server.
2.
Although it is not recommended, you can also connect your PC wirelessly to the Wireless
Router. Then, configure the wireless interface of your PC to obtain IP address automatically

192.168.1.1
, in the
Address
field. Press the
Enter
key.

field. Then click the
OK
button.
How to Navigate the Utility
The Web-based Utility consists of the following ten main tabs: Setup, Wireless, Firewall,
ProtectLink, VPN, QoS, Administration, IPS, L2 Switch,
and Status. Additional screens (sub tabs)
will be available from most of the main tabs.
The following briefly describes the main & sub tabs of the Utility.
Setup
You will use the Setup tabs to define the Router’s basic functionality.
•
Summary
—Displays a read-only summary of the Router's basic information.
•
WAN
—Internet connection settings are entered and displayed on this screen.
•
LAN
—Local Area Network (LAN) settings are entered and displayed on this screen.
•

—The DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) Host feature allows one local user to be exposed
to the Internet to use a special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or video
conferencing.
•
MAC Address Clone
—Some ISPs require that you register a MAC address. This feature
clones your network adapter's MAC address onto the Router, which prevents you from
having to call your ISP to change the registered MAC address to the Router's MAC
address.
