The Setup screen is the first screen you see when you access the web-based
utility. If you have already installed and set up the Router, you have already
seen this screen and properly configured all of the screen's values.
Firmware Version This shows the version and date of the firmware you are
using. Future versions of the Router's firmware will be posted and available for
download on the Linksys website at www.linksys.com.
Time Zone Select the time zone for your location. If your location experiences
daylight savings, leave the checkmark in the box next to Automatically adjust
clock for daylight saving changes.
Internet
MAC Address The MAC Address of the Internet interface is displayed here.
Host Name and Domain Name These fields allow you to supply a host and
domain name for the Router. Some ISPs, usually cable ISPs, require these
names as identification. You may have to check with your ISP to see if your
broadband Internet service has been configured with a host and domain name.
In most cases, leaving these fields blank will work.
Configuration Type The Router supports four connection types: Automatic
Configuration - DHCP, Static IP, PPPoE, and PPTP. Each Setup screen and
available features will differ depending on what kind of connection type you
select.
Note: You can verify that the Internet configuration settings are cor-
rect by successfully connecting to the Internet.
