Overview

The Bridge is designed to function properly after you configure it using the Setup Wizard.

In lowercase letters, enter the default password, admin, in the Password field. Click the OK button. You can set a new password on the Password screen later.

The Utility provides a convenient, web-browser-based way to alter the Bridge’s settings. It offers five main tabs:

•Setup - Enables you to configure the IP address and wireless settings.

•Password - Allows you to change the password or reset all settings to factory defaults.

•Advanced - Lets you change the advanced wireless settings and clone a MAC address onto the Bridge.

•Status - Displays the Bridge’s current settings.

•Help - Provides explanations of various configuration settings and links to online technical support resources. You can also upgrade the Bridge’s firmware using the Help screen.
