About the Web-based Wireless Router Utility
The Web-based Wireless Router Utility (referred to in the rest of
this User’s Guide as the Utility) helps you change the settings of
your Wireless Router. It is not a separate software application that
needs to be installed; it’s a management tool that resides on your
Wireless Router’s firmware, and is viewable with a Web browser
such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 or later, or Netscape V4.7 or
later.
Note: If the Proxy server setting on your Web browser is
enabled, you may need to disable it before you can open the
Utility. Refer to your Web browser’s documentation for
instructions.
