This section provides instructions for logging in to the Wireless Business Gateway so that you

can customize the gateway to suit your needs rather than using the default (factory) settings.

Note: It is strongly recommended that you use an Ethernet connection versus Wi-Fi

when you first connect to the gateway. If you use Wi-Fi during initial configuration and

you alter the Service Set Identifier (SSID), you will be dropped from the network when

the change is submitted. You will then have to reconnect using the new SSID.

The same recommendation applies to changing the wireless passphrase. It is best to

make these changes over an Ethernet hard-wired connection..

The gateway uses a default IP address of 192.168.0.1. If you have connected to the gateway

correctly and configured your computer properly, use the following procedures to log in to the

gateway as an administrator.
