In the list of components, select Internet Protocol (TCP/ IP), and click Properties. In the Internet Protocol Properties dialog box, select Obtain an IP address automatically and Obtain a DNS server address automatically. Close all the dialog boxes you opened.

If these new IP address settings do not take effect immediately, you may need to restart the PC.

If you have disabled the router’s DHCP server, assign the PC an IP address in the same subnet as the router. The router’s default IP address is 192.168.1.1.

3.Browse to the GUI.

If you access the Internet through a proxy server, set your browser to bypass the proxy for 192.168.1.1. Point your web browser to http://192.168.1.1.

4.Log in.

At the log in prompt, enter the user name and password. Passwords are case sensitive. By default:

User Name: manager
