MANUALLY CONFIGURING YOUR ROUTER
System Settings
The “System Settings” page is where you can enter a new administrator
password, set the time zone, enable remote management, and turn on
and off the UPnP function of the Router�
Setting or Changing the Administrator Password
The Router ships with NO password entered� If you wish to add a
password for greater security, you can set a password here� Write down
your password and keep it in a safe place, as you will need it if you need
to log in to the Router in the future� It is also recommended that you
set a password if you plan to use the remote-management feature of
your Router�
Changing the Login Time-Out Setting
The login time-out option allows you to set the period of time that you
can be logged into the Router’s advanced setup interface� The timer
starts when there has been no activity� For example, you have made
some changes in the advanced setup interface, then left your computer
alone without clicking “Logout”� Assuming the time-out is set to 10
minutes, then 10 minutes after you leave, the login session will expire�
You will have to log in to the Router again to make any more changes�
The login time-out option is for security purposes and the default is
set to 10 minutes� Note: Only one computer can be logged in to the
Router’s advanced setup interface at one time�
Setting the Time and Time Zone
The Router keeps time by connecting to a Simple Network Time
Protocol (SNTP) server� This allows the Router to synchronize the system
clock to the global Internet� The synchronized clock in the Router is
used to record the security log and control client filtering� Select the
time zone in which you reside� If you reside in an area that observes
daylight saving time, then place a check mark in the box next to
“Daylight Savings”� The system clock may not update immediately� Allow
at least 15 minutes for the Router to contact the time servers on the
Internet and get a response� You cannot set the clock yourself� You now
have the option to select a primary and a backup NTP server to keep
your Router’s clock synchronized with different NTP time servers on the
Internet� Select your desired NTP server from the drop-down boxes, or
simply keep it as is�
