PASSWORD SETTINGS
From the Password Settings page, you can change the password you use to log into the
router's admin pages. This may be for security reasons or to change it to something more
memorable.
The Password Settings page can also be used to change the Idle Time Out for the admin
pages. The timeout dictates maximum time of inactivity before you are logged out of the
admin pages and need to log back in.
If you changed your password from the default and you forget your new password, you
can return your router to factory default settings. See
How to restore the router to factory
defaults
on page 179. You'll find your original password printed on the sticker on the bottom
of the router or on the ‘KEEP MEE’ card that came with your router.
To access the Password Settings page:
1.
Login to the router’s admin pages.
2.
Click on the Advanced Set-Up tab and click Accept on the ‘Please proceed with
caution’ page.
3.
Click on System in the left hand navigation menu to expand the System menu:

How to change the time out period of the admin pages
If you find that you are being timed out of the router admin pages too quickly, you can
change the minimum time before a timeout occurs, or switch off the time out altogether.
By default, you will be timed out of the router’s admin pages after 10 minutes of inactivity.
To change the time out period:
1.
Login to the router’s admin pages.
2.
Click on the Advanced Set-Up tab and click Accept on the ‘Please proceed with
caution’ page.
3.
Click on System in the left hand navigation menu to expand the System menu:
4.
Click on Password Settings on the left hand menu.
5.
On the Password Settings page enter the new time out period (in minutes) in the ‘Idle
Time Out’ field. You can enter a value between 0 and 99. If you want to ensure that you
are never timed out of the admin pages, then set the value to 0. In this example we will
change the time out period to 15 minutes:

Click Save Settings
Only one administrator can be logged into the router admin pages at any time. The router
determines the administrator by the IP address of the person logged into the admin pages. If
you want to leave the admin pages, remember to click the logout link at the top right hand
corner of the pages. If you don’t logout, another user on a different computer cannot login
until the timeout time expires. If you have set the timeout period too long (or set to 0) then
you will need to power your router off and on to reset access to the admin pages on another
computer.
DDNS
The DDNS page allows you to configure the Dynamic DNS service for your router. Dynamic
DNS is online service that allows you to register a domain name and have any traffic that tries
to access that domain name be forwarded to your router’s Internet IP address. This feature is
particularly handy for EE Broadband users who will have a different Internet IP address each
time the router is restarted.
By setting up a Dynamic DNS service with either DynDNS (dyndns.org) or TZO (tzo.com) and
configuring the Dynamic DNS settings in the router’s DDNS page, the router will inform
those services of your current IP address and forward traffic directed to your domain – for
example yourname.dyndns.com to the router. You can couple Dynamic DNS with Port
Forwarding to have traffic directed to a web server or similar application on your local
network without having to enter the Internet IP address manually each time.
To access the Dynamic DNS page:
1.
Login to the router’s admin pages.
2.
Click on the Advanced Set-Up tab and click Accept on the ‘Please proceed with
caution’ page.
3.
Click on System in the left hand navigation menu to expand the System menu:
4.
Click on DDNS on the left hand menu:
