Advanced Configuration

After setting up the Router with the Setup Wizard (located on the CD-ROM), the Router will be ready for use. However, 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, Access Restrictions, Applications & Gaming, Administration, Status, and Voice. Additional tabs will be available after you click one of the main tabs.

NOTE: When first installing 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, 192.168.15.1, in the Address field. Then press Enter.

NOTE: If you place the Router behind a primary router with the IP address of 192.168.15.1, then the Router will automatically assume a new default IP address, 192.168.16.1.

A login screen appears. The first time you open the web-based utility, use the default user name and password, admin. (You can set a new password from the Administration tab’s Management screen.) Click OK to continue.

Internet Setup

The Internet Setup section configures the Router to your Internet connection. Most of this information can be obtained through your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Internet Connection Type

Select the type of Internet connection your ISP provides from the drop-down menu. These are the available types:

Automatic Configuration - DHCP

Static IP

PPPoE

PPTP

L2TP

Telstra Cable

Automatic Configuration - DHCP

By default, the Router’s Internet Connection Type is set to Automatic Configuration - DHCP, which should be kept only if your ISP supports DHCP or you are connecting through a dynamic IP address. (This option usually applies to cable connections.)
