It is strongly recommended that you set a password for the Router. The default
password is admin.
If you don’t change the password, all users on your network will be able to
access the Router using the default password admin.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) allows Windows XP to automatically config-
ure the Router for various Internet applications, such as gaming and videocon-
ferencing. Click the radio button next to Enable to enable UPnP Services, or
Disable to disable UPnP Services.
If you select the Restore Factory Default option and click the Apply button,
you will clear all of the Router’s settings.

Connect on Demand and Max Idle Time You can configure your Router
to cut your connection with your ISP after a specified period of time (Max
Idle Time). If you have been disconnected due to inactivity, Connect on
Demand enables your Router to automatically re-establish your connection
as soon as you attempt to access the Internet again. If you wish to activate
Connect on Demand, click the radio button. If you want your Internet con-
nection to remain on at all times, enter 0 in the Max Idle Time field.
Otherwise, enter the number of minutes you want to have elapsed before
your Internet access disconnects.
Keep Alive Option and Redial Period This option keeps your PPPoE-
enabled Internet access connected indefinitely, even when it sits idle. To
use this option, click the radio button next to Keep Alive to select it. The
default Redial Period is 30 seconds.
