2.5 WIRELESS ACCESS POINT (AP) SETUP
The following sections provide the settings and configuration options for the Linksys
WRT54G2 Wireless-G Broadband Router. In this scenario, the terms “access point”
and “router” are synonymous, and refer to the combination of these two networking
parts as a single unit. The graphics in this section are specific to this particular AP. The
concepts and items that need to be configured should be identical if a different AP is
used.

2.5.1 Accessing the AP Configuration Pages
Figure 2-4 shows the web interface to the AP. These web pages can be viewed from
any web browser. Enter the IP address of the AP, for example http://192.168.1.1, in the
URL. The Linksys WRT54G2 Wireless-G Broadband Router uses the IP address, http:/
/192.168.1.1.
When prompted with the authentication text box, leave the “User Name:” field blank,
and use “admin” as the password in the “Password:” field.
The IP address of the AP and configurations or settings may vary for each model. Refer
to the access point operating manual, for more information.
