Open a web browser on a computer connected to your network, then go

How to manually set up your router
Although running Cisco Connect is the easiest way to set up and maintain your
router, advanced users may want to manually configure their router. Be careful
when changing settings using this method.
To manually set up your router:
1.
If you have started the Cisco Connect setup, exit Cisco Connect.
2.
Connect your router’s power adapter to a power outlet.
3.
Connect an Ethernet cable to the computer and to an available numbered
Ethernet (blue) port on the back of your router.
