Chapter 6: Configuring the Wireless-G Range Expander
Overview
The Range Expander has been designed to be functional right out of the box, setting it up with the Auto
configuration button or with the Setup Wizard. However, if you'd like to change these settings, the Range
Expander can be configured through your web browser with the Web-Based Utility. This chapter explains how to
configure the Range Expander in this manner.
Open your web browser and type the IP Address you entered in the Setup Wizard. (If you used the Auto
configuration button, the default IP address is 192.168.1.240.) Press the Enter key and the Password Screen will
appear. Leave the User Name field blank. The first time you open the Web-Based Utility, use the default password
admin. You can set a new password from the Password tab.

Note: The Range Expander is designed to function
properly after using the Auto configuration button or
Setup Wizard. This chapter is provided solely for those
who wish to perform more advanced configuration or
monitoring.
