Open a Web Browser
Note: Be sure that the RouteFinder is cabled and that the power is connected as shown in Chapter 2.
Bring up a Web browser on the PC.
1. Type the default gateway address line:
http://192.168.2.1
2. Press
Enter.
Note: Make sure your PC’s address is on the same network as the router’s address. IPCONFIG
is a tool for finding out a PC’s IP configuration (the default gateway and the MAC address).
Login
The Login screen for the RouteFinder software displays.
Type admin (admin is the default user name) in the user name box.
Type admin in the password box.
Click Login.
Note: The User name and Password entries are case-sensitive (both must be typed in lower-
case). The password can be up to 12 characters. Later, you will want to change the password
from the default (admin) to something else (see the User Guide). If Windows displays the
AutoComplete screen, you may want to click No to tell Windows OS to not remember the
password for security reasons.
Password Caution: Use a safe password! Your first name spelled backwards is not a sufficiently
safe password; a password such as xfT35$4 is better. It is recommended that you change the
default password. Create your own password.
