Basic Setup

This chapter is a guide through a basic configuration setup of the Gateway for users who did NOT use the Actiontec Installation Buddy® to setup the Gateway. The basic setup includes instructions on how to connect the Gateway to the ISP and change the user name and password.

To complete a basic setup, the user will need information provided by the ISP and access the Gateway’s Web Configurator. This information from the ISP is some- times contained in a welcome letter or ISP worksheet. If this document is not avail- able, contact the ISP immediately and request one.

Basic Setup

☞Note: If you already set up the Gateway using the Installation Buddy (as described in Chapter 2, “Setting Up the Gateway”), the settings described in this section have already been configured. Please continue to chapter 4, “Using Advanced Setup,” to configure the advanced settings of the Gateway.

1.Open a Web browser. In the “Address” text box, type http://192.168.0.1

then press Enter on the keyboard.

2.The Web Configurator’s “Main Menu” screen appears. Select Setup/ Configuration.
