Connect the Router
Configuring the Router requires the
setup instructions provided by your
Internet Service Provider (ISP). If you
do not have this information, con-
tact your ISP before proceeding.
Your ISP determines how your PC is
set up for Internet access. Because
you are now using the Router to
share Internet access among sev-
eral computers, you will use the
setup information to configure the
Router instead of your PC.
A Open your PC’s web browser.
Enter http://192.168.1.1 (the
Router’s default local IP
address) in the web browser ’s
Address field and press the
Enter key.
B Enter a User Name and Pass-
word on the screen that
appears. Enter admin (the
default) in the the User Name
and Password fields. Then, click
the OK button.
C The Router’s Web-based Utility
will appear with the System
Summary screen showing.
Click on the Setup tab, which is
the next tab over, then con-
tinue with the instruction,
below, to complete the Net-
work page.

panel will light up as soon as
the power adapter is con-
nected properly.
