How to create a new user

Two user accounts (Admin and Guest) are preconfigured for router access. The password for the Admin user is the same password that you use to access the router. By default, the user Admin is a member of the group named Admin, and the user Guest is a member of the group named Guest. To keep it simple, consider creating user accounts on your router that use the same user names and passwords that are used by your computer’s operating system.

NOTE

Users can be a member of only one group.

To create a new user:

1.Log into the browser-based utility (see “How to open the browser-based utility” on page 21).

2.Click the Storage tab, then click the Administration page.

3.Under User Management, click Create New User.

4.Complete the Name, Full Name, and Description fields.

5.Enter and confirm a password.

7.To change the user name, description, or group membership, or to temporarily disable the account, click Edit.
