system settings
The “System Settings” page is where you can enter a new administrator
password, set the time zone, enable remote management, and turn on
and off the UPnP function of the 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
