Chapter 5: Using the Router’s Web-
Based Utility
For your convenience, an administrative utility has been programmed into the
Router. This chapter will explain all of the functions in this utility. All router-
based administrative tasks are performed through this web utility. The web util-
ity can be accessed by any PC on the network by typing “http://192.168.1.1” in
the PC’s web browser address window, as shown in Figure 5-1.
Upon entering the address into the web browser, a password request page will
pop up, as shown in Figure 5-2a. (Windows XP users will see a “Connect to
192.168.1.1” window, shown in Figure 5-2b.)
Leave the User Name field empty, and enter admin (the default password) in
lowercase letters in the Password field. Then, click the OK button.
In this chapter, you will find brief descriptions of each of the utility’s tabs and
its more important functions. More detailed explanations and instructions can
be found by clicking each page’s Help button or on Linksys’s website at
www.linksys.com. To clear any values you’ve entered on any page, click the
Cancel button. To apply any settings you’ve altered on any page, click the
Apply button.
