User's Manual

• Router Password For greater security, you should set a password for the

Router. If you don’t set the password, all users on your network will be able

to access the Router using the default password admin. We recommend that

you change your password often.

• UPnP Services Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) allows systems, such as

Windows XP PCs to automatically configure the Router for various Internet

applications, such as gaming and videoconferencing. Click the radio button

next to Enable to enable UPnP Services, or Disable to disable UPnP

Services.

• Restore Factory Defaults If you select the Restore Factory Default option

and click the Apply button, you will clear all of the Router’s settings and

restore the default settings.

Do not restore the factory defaults unless you are having difficulties with the

Router and have exhausted all other troubleshooting measures. Once the Router

is reset, you will have to re-enter all of your configuration data.

To clear any values you’ve entered on any page, click the Cancel button. To

apply any settings you’ve altered on any page, click the Apply button.

The Status tab, shown in Figure 5-8, displays the Router’s current status; it

reflects the data and selections you’ve entered using the Setup tab and provides

options for DHCP users.

All of the information provided on the Status tab is read-only and can be

changed using the Setup tab.

• Host Name This field shows the name of the Router. This entry is neces-

sary for some ISPs.

• Firmware Version This field shows the installed version and date of the

firmware. Version dates are slightly more accurate than version numbers.

• Login This indicates if you are using a dial-up style connection like

PPPoE, RAS, or PPTP. For PPPoE, RAS, or PPTP only, there is a Connect

button to click if you are disconnected and want to re-establish a connec-

tion.
