Information you will need about your Router
Username
This is the Username needed to access the Router’s management interface. When you attempt to connect to the device through a Web browser you will be prompted
to enter this Username. The default Username for the Router is “admin.” The user cannot change this.
Password
This is the Password you will be prompted to enter when you access the Router’s management interface. The default Password is “admin.” The user may change this.
LAN IP addresses for the Router
This is the IP address you will enter into the Address eld of your Web browser to access the Router’s conguration graphical user interface (GUI) using a Web
browser. The default IP address is 192.168.1.1. This may be changed to suit any IP address scheme the user desires. This address will be the base IP address used
for DHCP service on the LAN when DHCP is enabled.
LAN Subnet Mask for the Router
This is the subnet mask used by the Router and will be used throughout your LAN. The default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. This can be changed later.
Information you will need about your LAN or computer
Ethernet NIC
If your computer has an Ethernet NIC, you can connect the Router to the Ethernet port using an Ethernet cable. You can also use the Ethernet ports on the Router
to connect to other computers or Ethernet devices.
DHCP Client status
Your Router is congured, by default, to be a DHCP server. This means that it can assign an IP address, subnet mask and a default gateway address to computers
on your LAN. The default range of IP addresses the Router will assign are from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254. Your computer (or computers) needs to be congured
to obtain an IP address automatically (that is, they need to be congured as DHCP clients.)
It is recommended that you collect and record this information here, or in some other secure place, in case you have to re-congure your ADSL connection in the future.
Once you have the above information, you are ready to set up and congure your Router.
