Actiontec Broadband Router User Manual

Home Page

After logging into the Router’s MegaControl Panel (see “Configuring the Router” at the beginning of this chapter), the “Home” screen appears.

The Home screen has a “Main Menu” that occupies the top of the screen. Below that, the screen is divided into three columns: “My Router,” “My Network,” and “Action Zone.” A brief description of each continues below.

Main Menu

The “Main Menu” contains links to all of the configuration options of the Router: My Network (explained in chapter 3 of this manual), Firewall Settings (chapter 5), Parental Controls (chapter 6), Advanced (chapter 7), and System Monitoring (chapter 8).
