Wireless Access Point Router with 4-Port Switch

For Wireless Connections: In addition to accessing the Router through an Ethernet connection, a wireless connection can be used to access the Router. After powering on the Router and connecting it to your modem, enter the Router’s IP Address in the Address field of your wireless PC’s web-browser as follows: http://192.168.1.1 and press Enter.

Important: The Wireless Access Point Router with 4-Port Switch is configured by default to work out of the box with all Linksys Wireless Adapters. If you have changed the defaults on your Linksys Wireless Adapters, or are using other wireless adapters, you must temporar- ily change your wireless adapter settings to: (SSID = linksys) in order to initially access the Router wirelessly. After you have accessed the Router with the default settings, you can change the router settings to coincide with your Network settings and reset your adapters.

Important: Some ISPs—most notably some cable providers—config- ure their networks so that you do not have to enter a full Internet address into your web browser or e-mail application to reach your home page or receive your e-mail. If your Internet home page address is something very simple, such as “www”, rather than “www.linksys.com”, or your e-mail server’s address is something sim- ilar to “e-mail” or “pop3”, rather than “pop.mail.linksys.com”, you won’t be able to properly configure the Router until you determine the actual Internet addresses of your Web and e-mail connections.

You must obtain this information prior to connecting the Router to your network. You can obtain this information by contacting your ISP.
