Setup

The Setup screen, shown in Figure 6-3, is the first screen you see when you access the web-based utility. If you have already installed and set up the Router, you have already seen this screen and properly configured all of the screen’s values. Some options on this screen remain the same while the Internet Connection option will change depending on how you connect to the Internet.

The main options are described first, with all of the Internet Connection types following.

Host Name/Domain Name These fields allow you to supply a host and domain name for the Router. Some ISPs require these names as identification. You may have to check with your ISP to see if your broadband Internet service has been configured with a host and domain name. In most cases, leaving these fields blank will work.
