Chapter 2: Using the Configuration Manager 13
Each of the six Steps guides you in configuring a specific setting or group of settings.
When you click Next or Back, you move from one step to another. If there is a setting
that you don’t want to change, simply click Next to go to the next setting.
Step 1. Setup Login
To view or change configuration settings, you must enter a password. Your router has
a default password (admin) that was set by the factory and that you used to access the
Configuration Manager initially. If you want to keep the default password, click Next to
skip this step. Otherwise, to safeguard your configuration, particularly if you make
changes, we recommend that you change the login password.
1 On the Setup Login Password page, type the old password in the Old Password field.
2 Type the new password in the New Password field.
3 Type the new password in the Reconfirm field, then click Next.
Note: If you forget the new password, you won't have access to the Configuration
Manager and will need to restore the device to its factory settings, thus losing any
changes you made to your router's configuration. To avoid this problem, we
recommend that you write the new password here and on the bottom of your
Wireless-N Router, and also save it elsewhere such as a settings document.
PASSWORD:______________________________________
Please refer to Resetting the Router to the Default Configuration on page 8 or The
Reset to Default Dialog on page 72 for more information in the unlikely event that you
forgot your password and need to restore the router's default settings.
Step 2. Setup Time Zone
The Time Zone setting is only used for fairly sophisticated functions, such as changing
router access rules depending on the time of day. However, we recommend that you
set your time zone now.
