To prevent confusion when multiple people try to configure the Wireless Broadband Router simultaneously, the web-based configuration tool

allows one user at most to access the configuration screen of the router at any time. However, there is a five minute default timeout period after

the current administrator discontinues his usage of the web-based configuration tool, before the others are allowed to access the tool again.

To minimize the impact of the five minute timeout, click the

Log Off

tab to relinquish control of the web based configuration tool. This will allow

other legitimate users to access the tool.
