Using the Configuration Manager
Your Travel Router with Wireless-N is preset with default values that meet the needs
of most users. However, you can change these settings using the router's built-in
Configuration Manager.
Here are some reasons why you might want to use the Configuration Manager:
• You have a DSL or cable modem.
• You want to set or change some settings of your Travel Router. For instance,
you may want to change the login password or time zone or change wireless
settings to, for instance, turn on WiFi
®
-compatible security.
• You want to use WPS to set up your WiFi
®
-compatible connection. WPS
simplifies wireless setup, but all your WiFi
®
-compatible devices need to
support WPS.
• You want to set up some advanced features of the Travel Router such as a
virtual server or DMZ for use with online gaming. You can find a summary of
those features in the
Changing Default Settings section near the start of
Chapter 4, on page
33.
Launching the Router's Configuration Manager
To launch the Configuration Manager, please follow these steps:
1 If you haven't already done so, plug the supplied Ethernet cable into the
Ethernet port on the router’s back panel and into your computer’s Ethernet
port.
2 Turn on your computer and router, then launch the computer’s Web browser.
3 In the Web browser address bar, type the router's default IP address,
http://192.168.1.1 and then click
Enter.
When the MAIN MENU opens for the first time, it displays a System Status page
that summarizes the current settings and values for your system.
