Using the Modem/Router’s Configuration
Manager
The Modem/Router includes a built-in Install Wizard that walks you through
configuring the Modem/Router’s software. For most users running the Install Wizard
is all that is needed to configure the Modem/Router. If you are experienced with
networking devices and their configuration, you may prefer to use the Advanced
configuration program to tailor the Modem/Router's configuration to your needs. In
that case go to Using the Configuration Manager's Advanced Program
on page 81.
Launching the Modem/Router's Configuration Manager
To launch the Configuration Manager, please follow these steps:
1 If you haven't already done so, plug the supplied Ethernet cable into the
Ethernet port on the Modem/Router’s back panel and into your computer’s
Ethernet port.
2 Turn on your Modem/Router first, then your computer. Once the computer is
on, launch the computer’s Web browser.
3 In the Web browser address bar, type the Modem/Router's default IP address,
http://192.168.2.1 and then click Enter.
When the USER’S MAIN MENU opens for the first time, it displays a System
Status page that summarizes the current settings and values for your
system.
