7 Configuring Your Broadband VPN Router

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.

7.1 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 options/preference section of your browser.

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.

5.Click OK again to close the Internet Options window.

Internet Explorer (For Macintosh)

3.Uncheck all check boxes and click OK.
