your router secure, it is a best practice to create a new password. See “Changing the
Administrator's Password” on page 62.

e, update, and maintain the correct time on the router manually or
automatically by NTP (Network Time Protocol).

– Save configuration settings on your local hard drive, load configuration settings,
or restore factory default settings.
Connection Check

e your router to operate in router mode or extender mode. When
