The Change Password Page
You can use this page to change your login password. To view or change
configuration settings, you must enter a password. Your router has a default
password (admin) that was set by the factory and that you used to access the
Configuration Manager initially. To safeguard your configuration, particularly if you make
changes, we recommend that you change the login password.
Note: If you forget the new password, you won't have access to the Configuration
Manager and will need to restore the device to its factory settings thus losing any
changes you made to your router's configuration. To avoid this problem, we
recommend that you write the new password and save it in a convenient location.
Configuring Forwarding Rules
If you are using your router for gaming, you may need to make changes to the router’s
firewall setting for the game to work. This is done by setting up a DMZ or virtual server,
or using port triggering so that the modem’s firewall won’t block the other players from
your system during your gaming. The main difference between the three methods is
the amount of access someone has to your system.
A virtual server will allow access to your computer or gaming station on certain ports. A
port is a channel that is used by applications (such as games) for communication. For
example, the directions for the game you want to play over the Internet might tell you to
open up port 6000.
