Optionally, you can also
open a browser window and log in to the router. The user name is admin, and the default password
is password, as shown on the modem router label. After logging in, you can:
• Upgrade the modem router firmware, see “Upgrading the Modem Router Firmware”.
• Set up other wireless computers on your network, see “Configuring Your Wireless Network”
on page 22.
• Change settings and configure wireless security, see “Specifying Wireless Settings” on
page 22.
For advanced features not covered in this manual, see the User Manual on your Resource CD. A
link to the on-line User Manual also is available from the router interface.
Upgrading the Modem Router Firmware
When you run the Resource CD you will have an opportunity to upgrade to the latest available
firmware. Once you have configured your modem router, when you log in to the modem router the
Firmware Upgrade Assistant screen displays.
To ensure optimum performance of your high-speed wireless router, the
wireless adapter card for each computer in your network should support the
same technology as your router (see the online User Manual for more
information).
