Installation and Connection
Connecting to Web-based Interface
When you have configured your computer, you can access the web-based interface and configure
needed parameters (create a  WAN  connection, change the  parameters  of the wireless  network,
specify the settings of the firewall, etc.).
Start a web browser (see the  Before You Begin  section, page  16). In the address bar of the web
browser,   enter   the  IP  address of the   router   (by  default,   the   following   IP  address  is specified:
192.168.0.1). Press the Enter key.

If the error “   The page cannot be displayed   ” (or “   Unable to display the page   ”/“   Could not
connect to remote server   ”) occurs upon connecting to the web-based interface of the router,
make sure that you have properly connected the router to your computer.
After the first   access to the   web-based interface you   need to change the default   administrator
password. Enter the new password in the Password and Confirmation fields. You may set any
password except  admin. Use digits,  Latin letters (uppercase and/or lowercase), and characters
available on the keyboard. Then click the Apply button.

Remember or write down the new password for the administrator account. In case of losing
the new password, you can access the settings of the router only after restoring the factory
default settings via the hardware    RESET   button. This procedure wipes out all settings that
you have configured for your router.
When the web-based interface is accessed the next time and after, the login page opens. Enter the
username (admin) in the Login field and the password you specified in the Password field, then
click the Enter button.
