Chapter 3: Advanced Configuration
After setting up the Router with the setup software
(located on the CD-ROM), the Router will be ready for use.
If you would like to change its advanced settings, use the
Router’s browser-based utility. This chapter describes each
web page of the utility and each page’s key functions. You
can access the utility via a web browser on a computer
connected to the Router.
The browser-based utility has these main tabs: Setup,
Wireless, Security, Storage, Access Restrictions, Applications
& Gaming, Administration, and Status. Additional tabs will
be available after you click one of the main tabs.
How to Access the Browser-Based Utility
To access the browser-based utility, launch the web
browser on your computer, and enter the Router’s default
IP address, 192.168.1.1 in the Address field. Then press
Enter.
A login screen will appear. (Non-Windows 7 users will see
a similar screen.) In the User name field, enter admin. Then
enter the password created during the setup software.
(If you did not run the setup software, then use the
default password, admin. You can set a new password
on the Administration > Management screen. Refer to
Administration > Management, page 38.) Click OK to
continue.

utility through the Cisco Connect software. For
