Router Setup Preparation
You can set up your router with the Setup Wizard as described in
EZ Setup Wizard
on
page 16, or manually as described in
Internet Setup (Basic Settings)
. However, before you
start the setup process, you need to have your ISP information and to make sure the laptops,
PCs, and other devices in the network have the settings described here.
Note:
For a Macintosh or Linux system, you have to use manual setup.
Use Standard TCP/IP Properties for DHCP
If you set up your computer to use a static IP address, you have to change the settings back
so that it uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
Replace an Existing Modem and Router
To replace an existing modem and router, disconnect them and set them aside before
starting the router setup.
Gather ISP Information
You need the following information to set up your router and to check that your Internet
configuration is correct. Your Internet service provider (ISP) should have provided you with
all the information needed to connect to the Internet. If you cannot locate this information,
ask your ISP to provide it. When your router Internet connection is set up, you no longer
need to launch the ISP’s login program on your computer to access the Internet. When you
start an Internet application, your router automatically logs you in.

Active Internet service account
•
The ISP configuration information for your account
-
ISP login name and password
-
ISP Domain Name Server (DNS) addresses
-
Fixed or static IP address
-
Host and domain names
-
Depending on how your ISP set up your Internet account, you could need to know
one or more of these settings for a manual setup:
-
Virtual path identifier (VPI) and virtual channel identifier (VCI) parameters
-
Multiplexing method
-
Host and domain names

Log In to the Router
Log in to the router to view or change settings or to set up the router.
1.
Type
in the address field of your browser and press
Enter
to display
the login window. You can also enter
.
2.
Enter
admin
for the user name and
admin
for the password, both in lowercase letters.
Note:
The router user name and password are probably different from the
user name and password for logging in to your Internet connection.
See
Types of Logins
on page 14 for more information.
When you log in, if you are connected to the Internet, the Firmware Upgrade Assistant
screen displays so you can upgrade to the latest firmware.
A message displays telling you whether the router discovered a newer version of
firmware.
3.
To update to the new firmware, click
Yes
to allow the router to download and install the new
firmware file from On Networks.
WARNING:
When uploading firmware to the N150R router,
do not
interrupt the
Web browser by closing the window, clicking a link, or loading a
new page. If the browser is interrupted, it could corrupt the
firmware.
When the upload is complete, your Router restarts. The update process typically takes about
1 minute.

Unsuccessful Login
Do the following if you do not see the login prompt:
1.
Check the LEDs on the front of router to make sure that the router is plugged in, its
power is on, and the Ethernet cable between your computer and the router is connected
to a LAN port.
2.
If you connected the Ethernet cable and quickly launched your browser and typed in the
router URL, your computer might need a minute or two to recognize the LAN connection.
Relaunch your browser and try again.
3.
If you are having trouble accessing the router wirelessly, during setup you can use an
Ethernet cable to connect your computer so that you can log in to the router.
4.
If you cannot connect to the router, check the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) properties in the
Network Connections section of your PC Control Panel. They should be set to obtain both
IP and DNS server addresses automatically. See your computer documentation.
Log Out Manually
The router interface provides a Logout command at the bottom of the router menus. Log out
when you expect to be away from your computer for a relatively long time.
Types of Logins
There are three separate types of logins that have different purposes. It is important that you
understand the difference so that you know which login to use when.
•
Router login

Log In to the Router
on page 13 for
details about this login.
•

with this login information in a letter or some other way. If you cannot find this login
information, contact your service provider.
•
Wi-Fi network name and WiFi network password
logs you in to your wireless network.
This login is preconfigured and can be found on the label on the bottom of your unit. See
