Overview

Chapter 8: Configuring the Wireless-G Router for

3G/UMTS Broadband

Overview

Linksys recommends using the Setup CD-ROM for first-time installation of the Router. If you do not wish to run

the Setup Wizard on the Setup CD-ROM, then you can use the web-based utility to configure the Router. For

advanced users, you may configure the Router’s advanced settings through the web-based utility.

This chapter will describe each web page in the Utility and each page’s key functions. The utility can be accessed

via your web browser through use of a computer connected to the Router. For a basic network setup, most users

will use these two screens of the Utility:

•

Basic Setup. On the

Basic Setup

screen, enter the settings provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

•

Management. Click the

Administration

tab and then the

Management

tab. The Router’s default password is

admin

. To secure the Router, change the Password from its default.

There are seven main tabs: Setup, Wireless, Security, Access Restrictions, Applications & Gaming, Administration,

and Status. Additional tabs will be available after you click one of the main tabs.

To access the web-based utility, launch Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, and enter the Router’s default IP

address,

192.168.1.1

, in the

Address

field. Then press

Enter

.

A password request page will appear. Leave the

User Name

field blank. The first time you open the web-based

utility, use the default password

admin

. (You can set a new password from the Administration tab’s

Management

screen.) Then click the

OK

button.

You can view the

Mobile Network Status

screen without entering your password. This screen includes the Mobile

Network Bearer, Network Name, Signal Strength, Connection Time, Current Session Usage, Card Model, Card

Revision, Card Firmware, and IMSI. To view the screen, either press the

Enter

key three times, or fail the user

name and password entries three times.

HAVE YOU:

Enabled TCP/IP on your PCs? PCs

communicate over the network with this protocol.

Refer to “Appendix D: Windows Help” for more

information on TCP/IP.

NOTE:

For first-time installation, Linksys

recommends using the Setup Wizard on the Setup

CD-ROM. If you want to configure advanced settings,

use this chapter to learn about the web-based utility.
