Chapter 5: Configuring the Dual-Band Wireless A+G
Broadband Router
Overview
Linksys recommends using the Setup Wizard on the Setup CD-ROM for first-time installation of the Router. For
advanced users, you may follow the instructions in the previous chapter, “Chapter 4: Connecting the Dual-Band
Wireless A+G Broadband Router”, and then configure the Router through its Web-based Utility.
This chapter will describe each web page in the Utility and each page’s key functions. The utility can be accessed
via your web browser through use of a computer connected to the Router. For a basic network setup, most users
will use these two screens of the Utility:
• Basic Setup. On the Basic Setup screen, enter the settings provided by your ISP.
• Management. Click the Administration tab and then the Management tab. The Router’s default password is
admin. To secure the Router, change the Password from its default.
There are seven main tabs: Setup, Wireless, Security, Access Restrictions, Applications & Gaming, Administration,
and Status. Additional tabs will be available after you click one of the main tabs.
Make the necessary changes through the Web-based Utility. On each screen, click the Save Settings button to
apply your changes or Cancel Changes to cancel your changes. Help information is shown on the right-hand side
of the screen. For additional information, click More.
HAVE YOU: Enabled TCP/IP on your PCs? PCs

NOTE: For first-time installation of the Router,
Linksys recommends using the Setup Wizard on the
Setup CD-ROM.
