Configuring the Router

To configure the WRVS4400N router, plug a PC into the router and launch the web- based configuration utility as follows.

NOTE Before setting up the router, make sure your PCs are configured to obtain an IP (or TCP/IP) address automatically from the router.

STEP 1 Launch a web browser, such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox.

STEP 2 In the Address field enter http://192.168.1.1 and press Enter.

STEP 3 In the User Name and Password fields, enter admin.

The default user name and password is admin.

STEP 4 Click OK.

For added security, you should later set a new password using the Administration > Management window of the web-based utility.

STEP 5 The web-based utility will appear with the Setup menu and Summary selected. Click WAN under the Setup menu.

STEP 6 If requested by your ISP (usually cable ISPs), complete the Host Name and Domain Name fields, and the MTU and MTU Size fields. Otherwise, leave the defaults.

STEP 7 In the WAN window, choose an Internet Connection Type from the drop-down menu. Depending on which internet connection type you select, additional setup may be required.

The Internet Connection Types are:

•Automatic Configuration - DHCP: If you are connecting through DHCP or a dynamic IP address from your ISP, keep this default setting.

•Static IP: If your ISP assigns you a static IP address, select Static IP from the drop-down menu. Complete the Internet IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS fields. Enter at least one DNS address.

•PPPoE: If you are connecting through PPPoE, select PPPoE from the drop- down menu. Complete the User Name and Password fields.

•PPTP: PPTP is a service used in Europe only. If you are using a PPTP connection, check with your ISP for the necessary setup information.
