Connecting to Web-based Interface

When you have configured your computer, you can access the web-based interface and configure
needed parameters (for example, create an interface to connect to the Internet, change the
parameters of the wireless network, specify the settings of the firewall, edit the password for the
administrator account, etc.)
Start a web browser (see the Before You Begin section, page 14). In the address bar of the web
browser, enter the IP address of the router (by default, the following IP address is specified:
192.168.1.1). 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.
Figure 17. The page for changing the default administrator password.
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.
