Advanced Configuration
After setting up the router with the setup software (located on the CD-ROM),
the router will be ready for use. If you would like to change its advanced
settings, or if the software does not run, use the router’s browser-based utility.
You can access the utility via a web browser on a computer connected to the
router. For more help with the utility, click Help on the right side of the screen
or go to our website.
How to access the browser-based utility
1.
To access the browser-based utility, launch the web browser on your
computer, and enter the router’s default Internet Protocol (IP) address,
192.168.1.1, in the Address field. Then press Enter.
NOTE
You can also access the browser-based utility on Windows
computers by entering the device name in the Address field.
A login screen appears. (A similar screen appears for non-Windows 7
users.)
2.
In the User name field, enter admin.
3.
In the Password field, enter the password created by the setup software.
If you did not run the setup software, then enter the default, admin.
NOTE
You can also access the browser-based utility through Cisco
Connect.
4. Click OK to continue.
How to use the browser-based utility
Use the tabs at the top of each screen to navigate within the utility. The tabs are
arranged in two levels, top-level tabs for general functions and lower-level tabs
for the corresponding specific functions.
The top-level tabs are: Setup, Wireless, Security, Access Restrictions, Applications
& Gaming, Administration, and Status. Each of these has its own unique, lower-
level tabs.
NOTE
Within this User Guide, each screen is identified by its top- and
lower-level tab names. For example, “Setup > Basic Setup” is the
screen accessed via the Setup top-level tab, and its Basic Setup
lower-level tab.
If you change any settings on a screen, you must click Save Settings to apply
your changes, or click Cancel Changes to clear your changes. These controls
are located at the bottom of each screen.
NOTE
To learn more about any field, click Help on the right side of the
screen.
