Wireless-G Travel Router with SpeedBooster

How to Access the Web-based Utility

To access the Web-based Utility, launch Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, and enter the Router’s default IP
address, 192.168.16.1, in the Address field. Then press Enter.

A password request page will appear. Leave the User Name field blank. The first time you open the Web-based
Utility, use the default password admin. (You can set a new password from the Administration tab’s Management
screen.) Then click the OK button.

The Setup Tab - Basic Setup

The first screen that appears displays the Setup tab. This allows you to change the Router's general settings.

Internet Setup

The Internet Setup section configures the Router to your Internet connection. Most of this information can be
obtained from your ISP.

Incoming Internet Type

There are two options for Internet connection. You can use a wired connection or a wireless connection. The
wireless connection can be used as a single incoming wireless connection that others can share. Select the type
of connection you want to use, Wired or Wireless, then continue to the section for that option.
