Setting up your wireless router
5 Click OK. A 60-second countdown will appear on the screen. When the countdown
reaches zero, your router’s firmware update will be complete. Your router’s home page
should appear automatically. If not, type your router’s address (default = 192.168.2.1)
into the navigation bar of your browser.
The firmware update is complete.
Changing 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 NAT function of your router.
Setting or changing the Administrator Password
Your router shipped with NO password entered. If you want 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 into your 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 lets you set the period of time that you can be logged into your
router’s advanced setup interface. For example, if you have made some changes in the
advanced setup interface, then left your computer alone without clicking Logout, and the
time-out is set to 10 minutes, 10 minutes after you leave, the login session will expire. You
will have to log into your 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 into your router’s advanced setup interface at one
time.
Setting the time and time zone
Your router keeps time by connecting to a Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) server. This
allows your router to synchronize the system clock to the global Internet. The synchronized
clock in your router is used to record the security log and control client filtering. Select the
time zone that you reside in. If you reside in an area that observes daylight saving, then place
a check mark in the box next to Enable Daylight Saving. The system clock may not update
immediately. Allow at least 15 minutes for your router to contact the time servers on the
Internet and get a response. You cannot set the clock yourself.
