Chapter 3:

Advanced Configuration

After setting up the Router with the Setup Wizard (located on the CD-ROM), the Router will be ready for use. If you’d like to change its advanced settings, use the Router’s web- based utility. This chapter describes each web page of the utility and each page’s key functions. You can access the utility via a web browser on a computer connected to the Router.

The web-based utility has these main tabs: Setup, Wireless, Security, Storage, Access Restrictions, Applications & Gaming, Administration, and Status. Additional tabs will be available after you click one of the main tabs.

NOTE: When you first install the Router, you should use the Setup Wizard on the Setup CD-ROM. If you want to configure advanced settings, use this chapter to learn about the web-based utility.

How to Access the Web-Based Utility

To access the web-based utility, launch the web browser on your computer, and enter the Router’s default IP address, 192.168.1.1 or http://wrt160n.com in the Address field. Then, press Enter.

A password request screen will appear. (Non-Windows XP users will see a similar screen.) Leave the User name field blank. The first time you open the web-based utility, use the default password admin. (You can set a new password on the Administration > Management screen.) Click OK to continue.
