address, 192.168.1.1, in the Address field. Then press Enter.
A password request page will appear. Leave the User Name field blank. The first time you open the Web-based
Utility, use the default password admin. (You can set a new password from the Administration tab's Management

The first screen that appears displays the Setup tab. This allows you to change the Router's general settings.
Internet Setup
The Internet Setup section configures the Router to your Internet connection. Most of this information can be
obtained from your ISP.

Choose the type of Internet connection your ISP provides from the drop-down menu.
• Automatic Configuration - DHCP. By default, the Router's Internet Connection Type is set to Automatic
