If the green LED is blinking, you may restore the router to its factory default settings
by pressing RST on front panel. The configuration will be restored to the factory defaults and
the router will reboot. (The green LED will be on during the reboot.)
1.1. Secured access to web configuration
The Web interface can be accessed through a standard web browser via a secure HTTPS
connection.
Access the web interface by entering https://192.168.1.1 in the web browser. You may
receive a message that there is a problem with the website‟s security certificate. If you do,
click on “Continue to this website”. If you wish to prevent this message, you must install a
security certificate into the router.
Since the domain name in the certificate is given the MAC address of the router (such
addresses use dashes instead of colons as separators), it is necessary to access the router
under this domain name. For access to the router via a domain name, a DNS record must be
added to the DNS table in the operating system.
There are three methods to add a domain name to the operating system:
Editing /etc/hosts (Linux/Unix)
Editing C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts (Windows XP)
Configuring your own DNS server
You must then add a security certificate to the web server on the router. When using
a self-signed certificate, you must upload your files to the certs directory /etc/certs in the
router.
