Enter the settings provided by your ISP.
• Password
The Router’s default password is
admin
. To secure the Router,
change the Password from its default.
The Status, Firewall, VPN, Password, Status, DHCP, Log, and Help tabs are
also available for basic setup of the Router. For advanced setup of the Router,
click the Advanced tab to access these screens: Filters, Forwarding, Dynamic
Routing, Static Routing, DMZ Host, and MAC Address Clone.
To access the web-based utility of the Router, launch Internet Explorer or
Netscape Navigator, and enter the Router’s default IP address,
