Chapter 5: Configuring the Router
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 on 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 wireless network
setup, most users only have to use the following screens of the Utility:
•
Basic Setup. On the
Basic Setup
screen, enter the Internet connection settings provided by your ISP. If you do
not have this information, you can call your ISP to request the settings. Once you have the setup information
for your specific type of Internet connection, then you can configure the Router.
•
Management. Click the
Administration
tab and then the
Management
tab. The Router’s default user name
and password is
admin
. To secure the Router, change the User Name and Password from their defaults.
•
Wireless. On the
Basic Wireless Settings
screen, set the basic configuration for your wireless network.
There are eight main tabs: Setup, Wireless, Security, Access Restrictions, Applications & Gaming, Administration,
Status, and Voice. Additional tabs will be available after you click one of the main tabs.
