Use the default user name admin and password admin for first time setup. You should change the web-based
manager access user name and password once you have verified that a connection can be established. The user
name and password allows any PC within the same subnet as the Modem to access the web-based manger.
Note
Do not confuse the user name and password used to access the web-based manager
with the ADSL account user name and password needed for PPP connections to
access the service provider’s network.

When the Router is used to provide Internet access it actually must first access your service provider’s network,
that is, it must communicate with computers and other routers owned by your service provider. These computers
and routers then provide access to the Internet. The Router must be configured to communicate with the systems
that give it access to the larger network. Click either the Setup tab (or the Go to setup wizard hyperlink); the
Setup window will appear.
