3. In the
Address
bar, enter the default router IP address:

and press
Enter
. This
displays the “Gateway Administrator Setup” window.
The first time you connect to the Router via the Web browser, you must set up an administrator account
on the “Gateway Administrator Setup” window before you can proceed.

Specify a user name for the administrator. You may accept the default user name,
admin
, or enter a
new user name in
