3 Configuration
3.1 Determine your connection settings
Before you configure the router, you need to know the connection information
supplied by your ADSL service provider.
3.2 Connecting the ADSL Router to your network
Unlike a simple hub or switch, the setup of the ADSL Router consists of more than
simply plugging everything together. Because the Router acts as a DHCP server, you
will have to set some values within the Router, and also configure your networked
PCs to accept the IP Addresses the Router chooses to assign them.
Generally there are several different operating modes for your applications. And you
can know which mode is necessary for your system from ISP. These modes are router,
bridge, PPPoE+NAT, and PPPoA+NAT.
3.3 Configuring with Web Browser
It is advisable to change the administrator password to safeguard the security of your
network.
To configure the router, open your browser, type 'http: //192.168.0.1' into the address
bar and click 'Go' to get to the login page.
Save this address in your Favorites for future reference.
At the User name prompt, type 'admin'. And the Password prompt, type 'admin'. You
can change these later if you wish. Click 'OK'.
