name and password when you open the Access Point setup page.
To open the Access Point setup page, type admin in the dialog boxs User
Name text box, then type the password that you set in the Password text
box.
Guest password
If you set a guest password, you will be requested to enter a user name and
password when you open the Access Point Status page.
Type guest in the User Name text box, then type the password that you set
in the Password text box.
Notes
If no administrator password is set, a guest password cannot be set.
If the administrator password is cancelled, the guest password is also cancelled.
Configuring and changing settings for the Access Point
There are two types of Access Point settings:
Easy Setup
For those who are not familiar with networks, it is recommend that you
use Easy Setup. However, if the Access Point is connected to an ISDN
router or router-type DSL modem, you must make settings in Advanced
Setup.
If you configure settings in Easy Setup, the Access Point operates in
NAT router mode.
When making a PPPoE connection to your ISP using a DSL modem or
when using a cable modem, you can normally configure all of the
required settings in Easy Setup.
Note
If you configure settings in Easy Setup after you have already configured settings in
Advanced Setup, the Advanced Setup settings are lost, and the settings are switched to
those in Easy Setup.
