Connecting to the Router

The SpeedStream Router contains an HTTP server that allows you to connect to the Router and
configure it from your Web browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, versions 5.0 or
later).
To establish a connection from your computer to the Router:
1. After installing the Router, start your computer. If your computer is already running, reboot it.
2. Open your Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator Web browser.
3. In the Address bar, enter the default router IP address: http://speedstream and press Enter. This
displays the "Gateway Administrator Setup" window.
The first time you connect to the Router via the Web browser, you must set up an administrator account
on the "Gateway Administrator Setup" window before you can proceed.
4. Specify a user name for the administrator. You may accept the default user name, admin, or enter a
new user name in User Name. The user name is case-sensitive.
5. Enter a password in New Password; then enter the same password in Confirm New Password. The
password field is case-sensitive.
6. Select a login security level from one of the following:
• Require admin login to access entire Web site
Before you can access any screen in the Web interface, you must log in with your network user
name and password. (Security level = High)
• Require admin login to access configuration pages
Before you can access any screen in the Web interface that allows you to make configuration
changes, you must log in with your network user name and password. (Security level = Medium)
• Do not require admin login:
After you log in for the first time, you will not be required to log in again at any screen. (Security
level = Low)
7. Click Save Settings. Depending on your connection(s), one of the following screens will display:
• If you have no Point-to-Point (PPP) connections configured, the System Summary screen is
displayed.
• If you have one Point-to-Point (PPP) connection configured, the PPP Login screen for that
connection is displayed. Refer to PPP Login for more details.
