Advanced Configuration

Default Gateway Address  Enter the IP address of the default gateway.

User Name and Password  Enter your account’s User Name and Password. The maximum number of characters is 60.

Connect on Demand  If you select the Connect on Demand option, the connection will be disconnected after a specified period of inactivity (Max Idle Time). If you have been disconnected due to inactivity, Connect on Demand enables the Router to automatically re-establish your connection as soon as you attempt to access the Internet again. Enter the number of minutes you want to have elapsed before your Internet access disconnects. The default Max Idle Time is 5 minutes.

Keep Alive  If you select the Keep Alive option, the Router will keep the connection alive by sending out a few data packets periodically, so your ISP thinks that the connection is still active. This option keeps your connection active indefinitely, even when it sits idle. The default Redial Period is 30 seconds.

Setup > Password

The Router’s default User Name and Password is admin, and Linksys strongly recommends that you change the Router’s password from the default to a unique password.

NOTE: The password cannot be recovered if it is lost or forgotten. If the password is lost or forgotten, you have to reset the Router to its factory default settings; this will remove all of your configuration changes.
