Asus RT-AC51U Configuration Manual page 3

Step 2
Changing the Default Username and Password
Your wireless router should turn on. There is an indicator light on the wireless router to indicate it is turned
on. Give the wireless router a few minutes to completely start.
You can now connect your computer to the wireless router in one of two different ways. Either you can
connect your computer to one of the yellow ethernet ports on the wireless router using another ethernet
cable (not included), or connect your computer wirelessly to the wireless router using the unsecured
"ASUS" wireless network the wireless router will automatically create.
Important! You won't have a working internet connection just yet. Only after you successfully completed
step 1 through 3 of this manual will you be able to use the internet.
Once you're connected to the wireless router via one of the two options above, you will have to open the
wireless router's configuration interface. You can do this by opening a browser on your computer and
navigate to the website: http://192.168.1.1.
You'll now be greeted with a website like the one below. Please make up a username and a good
password you will use later to login to the wireless router's configuration interface and enter them. Click
Next to continue.
Important! This username and password are only used to login to the configuration interface, and not to
connect to the wireless network you will create in the next step. You don't have to give these credentials to
anyone else.
If you need any further help with this step, please consult the product manual that came with your router.
