802.11a/g Router User’s Guide
When you attempt to access a configuration screen from the browser menu, an administrator login
screen will appear, prompting you to enter your password to log on. Once you are logged in, you will
not be asked to log in again unless your “session” expires such as due to inactivity timeout.
If you are logging in for the first time after you received your 802.11a/g Router, you should use the
factory default password, “password” to log in. (You should change it as soon as after you log in.)
Characters you type (as your password) will be echoed back as a string of asterisks (“*”) for security
reasons. After you enter the password, clicking the LOG ON button will begin the password
verification process and, if successful, your configuration session can begin.
Note: Should there be no settings or access on the web management screen, system will logout
automatically in 10 minutes.
Setup Wizard
The Setup Wizard will guide you through a series of configuration screens to set up the basic
configuration of your 802.11a/g Router. At the end of the Setup Wizard screens, you should press the
“finish” button, and all your configuration modifications will take effect.
SETTING UP YOUR LOCAL TIME ZONE AND DATE/TIME
After logging in, the Time Settings page appears. The router time will first be set to the local time of
the PC (on which the browser is running). If this time is not correct, modify the appropriate fields as
necessary, and then click “NEXT”.
Since the device does not have a real time clock on it, the system time needs to be set every time the
device is booted up. You can enable the NTP (Network Time Protocol) function, which will set the
system time periodically to the time queried from the NTP server configured. You can specify the
NTP server to be queried either by selecting a well-known server or by entering the IP address of the
server. The 802.11a/g Router will query the configured NTP server for the current time periodically
according to the NTP request interval configured.
