If using the PPPoE option, you will need to remove or disable any
PPPoE client software on your computers.
CONNECTING TO THE LOGIN PAGE
It is recommended to make initial configuration changes by connecting a
PC directly to one of the Wireless Broadband Router’s LAN ports. The
Wireless Broadband Router has a default IP address of 192.168.2.1 and a
subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. You must set your PC IP address to be on
the same subnet as the Gateway Router (that is, the PC and Gateway
Router addresses must both start 192.168.2.x).
To access the Wireless Broadband Router’s management interface, follow
these steps:
1. Use your web browser to connect to the management interface using
the default IP address of 192.168.2.1.
2. Log into the interface by entering the default username “admin” and
password “smcadmin,” then click Login.
