Quick & Easy Router Administration

The EtherFast Cable/DSL Router uses a web browser-based administrative Utility that is programmed into a chipset. All administrative tasks for the Router are performed through this Setup Utility. The Utility can be accessed through any PC on the network by typing http://192.168.1.1 into the web browser’s Address field (even if that PC does not yet have Internet access), shown below.

After entering the address value into the web browser, a password request page will pop up, shown below.

Leave the User Name field blank and type “admin” into the Password field.

In this section, you’ll find brief descriptions of each web page in the Utility and each page’s key functions. More detailed explanations and instructions can be found by clicking each page’s Help button in your Router’s Setup Utility.

To apply any settings you’ve changed on a page, click the Apply button, then click Continue. To clear any values you’ve entered on any page, click
