Overview
Linksys recommends using the Setup
This chapter will describe each web page on the Utility and each page’s key functions. The Utility can be accessed via your web browser through use of a computer connected to the Router. For a basic network setup, most users only have to use the following screens of the Utility:
•Basic Setup. On the Basic Setup screen, enter the Internet connection settings provided by your ISP. If you do not have this information, you can call your ISP to request the settings. Once you have the setup information for your specific type of Internet connection, then you can configure the Router.
•Management. Click the Administration tab and then the Management tab. The Router’s default password is admin. To secure the Router, change the Password from its default.
There are six main tabs: Setup, Security, Voice, Applications & Gaming, Administration, and Status. Additional tabs will be available after you click one of the main tabs.
