Default Gateway Address Enter the IP address of the
default gateway.
User Name and Password Enter your account’s User
Name and Password. The maximum number of characters
is 60.
Connect on Demand If you select the Connect on
Demand option, the connection will be disconnected
after a specified period of inactivity (Max Idle Time). If you
have been disconnected due to inactivity, Connect on
Demand enables the Router to automatically re-establish
your connection as soon as you attempt to access the
Internet again. Enter the number of minutes you want to
have elapsed before your Internet access disconnects. The
default Max Idle Time is 5 minutes.
Keep Alive If you select the Keep Alive option, the Router
will keep the connection alive by sending out a few data
packets periodically, so your ISP thinks that the connection
is still active. This option keeps your connection active
indefinitely, even when it sits idle. The default Redial
Period is 30 seconds.

Setup > Password
The Router’s default User Name and Password is admin,
and Linksys strongly recommends that you change the
Router’s password from the default to a unique password.
NOTE: The password cannot be recovered if
it is lost or forgotten. If the password is lost or
forgotten, you have to reset the Router to its
factory default settings; this will remove all of
your configuration changes.
