Chapter 5. Setup Screen
This chapter describes how to configure the router for your local area network (LAN) and Internet (WAN) connections. You may use a computer connected to any of the router’s LAN ports.
5.1 Configuring Your Router Using the Setup Screen
1.Start your web browser. Type http://192.168.123.254 into your browser’s address or location field and press Enter.
Note: If you are unable to connect to the router, disable your browser’s proxy setting or
add the IP address (default: 192.168.123.254) of the router to the exceptions.
2.In a few moments
you’ll see the Login screen for the router. Enter admin (the default pass- word) and click the Login button.
Note: The factory default password is admin and is case sensitive. It should be changed to
prevent unauthor- ized logins. See section 7.1 (Change Admin-
istrator’s Password) for more information.
3.From the menu bar on the top of the screen, click on Setup.
4.From the WAN Type screen, select the type that best de- scribes your Internet connec- tion. Sections 5.2 thru 5.10 de- scribe the WAN types more fully.
Tip: If you are unsure about your WAN type, please check with your ISP. If that’s not possi- ble, then consult the following table for suggestions. Please note that this is not a complete list. Some ISPs may offer ser- vices for multiple WAN types.
5.Click the Next button.
