1. How do I modify the settings on my router?
Launch a web browser such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Safari and enter the router’s default
IP address, http:192.168.0.1 Press “Enter”. When prompted, type in the username and
password to your router (default is “admin” for both). Click “OK” to enter the router’s web-based
interface. Click on the appropriate option from the list to the left of the window to change the
settings.
2. How do I install/configure the router if I don’t have a Windows based operating system
(or) if I don’t have a CD Rom drive?
You don’t need the included CD to install the router. You can run the setup wizard directly from
the router’s settings page accessed by the IP address of the router. Open an internet browser
(ie: Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Safari). Click in the address bar and type the IP address of the
router (the default IP Address is 192.168.0.1). If you are able to access the router, you will be
prompted for the Username and Password (default is “admin” for both). A window will say
“Welcome to the Setup Wizard”. Click next to continue through wizard and follow the prompts to
finish the installation. .
3. Can I install the router without having my computer plugged into it directly?
You do not need to have your computer plugged into the router in order to install and configure
your router. You can wirelessly connect to the router and use the web-based interface to
complete the configuration. First, using a wireless-enabled computer, connect to the default
SSID “medialink”. The router automatically broadcasts this as an open network that does not
require a password until you so choose to secure it. Once wirelessly connected to the network,
refer to Question 1 of this FAQ for instructions on logging into the router. Click “WLAN Settings”
to adjust the wireless settings. NOTE: Each time you change the settings of your wireless
network your wireless connection will drop and you will have to reconnect to the new wireless
network you have amended before continuing to adjust your settings. For this reason, it is
recommended that you temporarily plug into the router while making adjustments.
4. Do I need to install the CD on every computer in my network?
You do not need the CD to install the router on any computer. The CD provides a user-friendly
setup wizard that helps you connect to the router and configure its wireless settings. However,
you can configure the wireless settings through the web-based interface as well. (See Question
1 of this FAQ) Consequently, you do not need to use the CD for installation on any other
computer in the network. Once the router is configured, you may connect and disconnect from
the network with any device at any time.
