CHAPTER 5 CONFIGURING THE EZ-STREAM WIRELESS ROUTER

The EZ-Stream Wireless Router can be configured by any Java-supported browser, i.e., Internet Explorer 5.0 or above. Using the web management interface, you can configure the Router and view statistics to monitor network activity.

Note: Before you attempt to configure your Router, if you have access to the Internet please visit www.smc.com and download the latest firmware update to ensure your Router is running the latest firmware.

Before you attempt to log into the web-based administration, please verify the following.

1.Your browser is configured properly (see below).

2.Disable any firewall or security software that may be running.

3.Confirm that you have a good link LED where your computer is plugged into the Router. If you don’t have a link light, then try another cable until you get a good link.

5.0 Browser Configuration

Confirm your browser is configured for a direct connection to the Internet using the Ethernet cable that is installed in the computer. This is configured through the Tools/Internet Options section of your browser.

Disable Proxy Connection

You will also need to verify that the HTTP Proxy feature of your web browser is disabled. This is so that your web browser will be able to view the Router configuration pages. The following steps are for Internet Explorer and for Netscape. Determine which browser you use and follow the appropriate steps.

Internet Explorer 5 or above (For Windows)

1.Open Internet Explorer. Click Tools, and then select Internet Options.

2.In the Internet Options window, click the Connections tab.
