Chapter 5: Configure the Router
This chapter will show you how to configure the Router to function in your net-
work and gain access to the Internet through your Internet Service Provider
(ISP). Detailed description of the Router’s Web-based Utility can be found in
“Chapter 6: The Router’s Web-based Utility.” Your ISP may require the use of
a Host Name and Domain Name. Further, you will set the WAN Connection
Type on the Router’s Setup tab based on the information provided by your ISP.
You will need setup information for your Internet connection from your ISP. If
you do not have this information, please contact your ISP before proceeding.
The instructions from your ISP tell you how to set up your PC for Internet
access.
Because you are now using the Router to share Internet access among
several computers, you will use the setup information to configure the Router
instead of your PC. You only need to configure the Router once using the first
computer you set up.

Open your web browser. (It is all right if you get an error message at this
point. Continue following these directions.) Enter
in the
web
browser’s
Address field, as
shown in Figure 5-

Enter
key.
2.
An Enter Network Password window, shown in Figure 5-2, will appear.
Windows XP users will see a Connect to 192.168.1.1 window, shown in
Figure 5-3. Leave the User Name field empty, and enter
admin
in lower-
case letters in the Password field
(
admin
is the default password).
Then, click the
OK
button.
