In this case you must define a static route, telling your router to access 134.177.0.0 through
the ISDN router at 192.168.1.100. Here is an example:
•
The
Destination IP Address
and
IP Subnet Mask
fields specify that this static route
applies to all 134.177.x.x addresses.
•
The
Gateway IP Address
field specifies that all traffic for these addresses will be
forwarded to the ISDN router at 192.168.1.100.
•
A metric value of 1 works because the ISDN router is on the LAN.
•
The
Private
check box is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP
is activated.

Specify Basic WiFi Settings
The router and satellite come preset with the same WiFi network name (SSID) and the same
WiFi security. You can find the SSID and password on the router label and on the satellite
label. If you log in to the router and change the WiFi settings, the router automatically sends
the new settings to the satellite.
If you change your WiFi settings, make a note of the new settings and store it in a safe place
where you can easily find it.
If your computer or mobile device is using a WiFi connection when you change the network
name (SSID) or other WiFi security settings, you are disconnected when you click the
Apply
button. To avoid this problem, use a computer with a wired connection to access the router.
To specify basic WiFi settings:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2.
Enter
.
A login window opens.
3.
Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is

5.
To change the network name (SSID), type a new name in the
Name (SSID)
field.
The name can be up to 32 characters long and it is case-sensitive. The default SSID is
randomly generated and is on the router’s label. If you change the name, make sure to
write down the new name and keep it in a safe place
.
6.
To change the WiFi channel, select a number in the
Channel
list.
In some regions, not all channels are available. Do not change the channel unless you
experience interference (shown by lost connections or slow data transfers). If this
happens, experiment with different channels to see which is the best.
When you use multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points use different
channels to reduce interference. The recommended channel spacing between adjacent
access points is four channels (for example, use Channels 1 and 5, or 6 and 10).
7.
Click the
Apply
button.
Your settings are saved. The router sends the new settings to the satellite.
If you are using a WiFi connection and you changed the SSID, you are disconnected from
the network.
8.
Make sure that you can connect to the WiFi network with its new settings.
If you cannot connect using WiFi, check the following:
•
Is your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device connected to another WiFi network in
your area? Some WiFi devices automatically connect to the first open network without
WiFi security that they discover.
•
Is your computer or WiFi device trying to connect to your network with its old settings
(before you changed the settings)? If so, update the WiFi network selection in your
computer or WiFi device to match the current settings for your network.
Change the WiFi Password or Security Level
The router and satellite come preset with the same WiFi network name (SSID) and the same
WiFi security. You can find the SSID and password on the router label and on the satellite
label. If you log in to the router and change the WiFi settings, the router automatically sends
the new settings to the satellite. We recommend that you do not disable security.
