Controlling the Router Through

Its Web Conguration Interface

11

Logging In

DuringtheQuick Start Guide procedure, you should have

successfully logged into the router’s Web Conguration user

interface (essentiallytherouter’soperatingsystemthat

controlshowitoperates)andestablishedsomeinitialsettings

and controls for the router.

Ifyouwishtochangetherouter’ssettings (establisha

newusernameandpasswordforthepersonwhomanages

andmaintainstherouter,setParentalControls,establish

aGuestAccess-SSIDsettingforvisitors,oranynumberof

othersettings)youcanlogintotheWebCongurationagain

throughthewebbrowser(InternetExplorer,Safari,Chrome,

Firefox)onyourcomputerortabletdevice.

To do this, enter the router’s default IP address of

192.168.0.1intoyourbrowser’saddresswindow.

1.Attheloginscreenenteryourusernameandapassword

2.ClickLogintocontinue.

The default login settings are:

username: admin

 password:admin

It’s highly recommended that, if you haven’t done so already,

to change these default names, so your router and the devices

connectedtoitonyourhomenetworkaremoresecure.
