RangeMax NEXT Wireless Router WNR834A Reference Manual
Connecting the Router to the Internet 3-9
v1.0, April 2006
Using the Smart Setup Wizard
You can use the Smart Setup Wizard to assist with manual configuration or to verify the Internet
connection. The Smart Setup Wizard is not the same as the Smart Wizard configuration assistant
(as illustrated in Figure 3-1) that only appears when the router is in its factory default state. After
you configure the wireless router, the Smart Wizard configuration assistant will not appear again.
To use the Smart Setup Wizard to assist with manual configuration or to verify the Internet
connection settings, follow this procedure:
1. Connect to the wireless router by typing http://www.routerlogin.net in the address field of
your browser, then click Enter.
2. For security reasons, the router has its own user name and password. When prompted, enter
admin for the router user name and password for the router password, both in lower case
letters. To change the password, see “Changing the Administrator Password” on page 6-9.
Once you have entered your user name and password, your Web browser should find the
WNR834A router and display the home page as shown in Figure 3-4 on page 3-5.
3. Click Setup Wizard on the upper left of the main menu.
4. Click Next to proceed. Input your ISP settings, as needed.
5. At the end of the Setup Wizard, click the Test button to verify your Internet connection. If you
have trouble connecting to the Internet, use the “Troubleshooting Tips” on page 3-3 to correct
basic problems, or see Chapter 8, “Troubleshooting”.
Note: The router user name and password are not the same as any user name or
password you may use to log in to your Internet connection.
