Chapter 5. Setup Screen
This chapter describes how to configure the router for your local area network
(LAN) and Internet (WAN) connections. You may use a computer connected to
any of the router’s LAN ports.
5.1 Configuring Your Router Using the Setup Screen
1. Start your web browser. Type http://192.168.123.254 into your browser’s
address or location field and press Enter.
Note
: If you are unable to connect to the router, disable your browser’s
proxy setting or
add the IP address
(default:
192.168.123.254)
of the router to the
exceptions.
2. In a few moments
you’ll see the Login screen for the router. Enter admin (the default pass-
word) and click the
Login
button.
Note
: The factory default password is
admin
and is case sensitive. It should
be changed to
prevent unauthor-
ized logins. See
section 7.1
(Change Admin-
istrator’s Password) for more information.
3. From the menu bar on the top of the screen, click on
Setup
.
4. From the WAN Type screen,
select the type that best de-
scribes your Internet connec-
tion. Sections 5.2 thru 5.10 de-
scribe the WAN types more
fully.
Tip: If you are unsure about
your WAN type, please check
with your ISP. If that’s not possi-
ble, then consult the following
table for suggestions. Please
note that this is not a complete
list. Some ISPs may offer ser-
vices for multiple WAN types.
