Manually Configuring your Router
Setting or Changing the Administrator Password
The Router ships with NO password entered. If you wish to add a password for
greater security, you can set a password here. Write down your password and keep
it in a safe place, as you will need it if you need to log in to the Router in the future.
It is also recommended that you set a password if you plan to use the remote-
management feature of your Router.
Changing the Login Time-Out Setting
The login time-out option allows you to set the period of time that you can be
logged into the Router’s advanced setup interface. The timer starts when there has
been no activity. For example, you have made some changes in the advanced setup
interface, then left your computer alone without clicking “Logout”. Assuming the
time-out is set to 10 minutes, then 10 minutes after you leave, the login session will
expire. You will have to log in to the Router again to make any more changes. The
login time-out option is for security purposes and the default is set to 10 minutes.
Note: Only one computer can be logged in to the Router’s advanced setup interface
at one time.
Setting the Time and Time Zone
The Router keeps time by connecting to a Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP)
server. This allows the Router to synchronize the system clock to the global
Internet. The synchronized clock in the Router is used to record the security log
and control client filtering. Select the time zone in which you reside. If you reside
in an area that observes daylight saving time, then place a check mark in the box
next to “Daylight Savings”. The system clock may not update immediately. Allow at
least 15 minutes for the Router to contact the time servers on the Internet and get
a response. You cannot set the clock yourself. You now have the option to select
a primary and a backup NTP server to keep your Router’s clock synchronized with
different NTP time servers on the Internet. Select your desired NTP server from the
drop-down boxes, or simply keep it as is.
