Utility
Quick & Easy Router Administration
The EtherFast Cable/DSL Router uses a web browser-based administrative
Utility that is programmed into a chipset. All administrative tasks for the
Router are performed through this Setup Utility. The Utility can be accessed
through any PC on the network by typing
http://192.168.1.1 into the
web browser’s Address field (even if that PC does not yet have Internet
access), shown below.
After entering the address value into the web browser, a password request
page will pop up, shown below.
Leave the User Name field blank and type “admin” into the Password field.
In this section, you’ll find brief descriptions of each web page in the Utility
and each page’s key functions. More detailed explanations and instructions
can be found by clicking each page’s Help button in your Router’s Setup
Utility.
To apply any settings you’ve changed on a page, click the Apply button, then
click Continue. To clear any values you’ve entered on any page, click
Cancel.
