Determine your connection settings
Before you configure the router, you need to know the connection information supplied by
your service provider.
Connecting the Fiber Router to your network
Unlike a simple hub or switch, the setup of the Fiber Router consists of more than simply
plugging everything together. Because the Router acts as a DHCP server, you will have to
set some values within the Router, and also configure your networked PCs to accept the IP
Addresses the Router chooses to assign them.
Generally there are several different operating modes for your applications. And you can
know which mode is necessary for your system from ISP. These modes are router, bridge,
and PPPoE+NAT.
Configuring with Web Browser
It is advisable to change the administrator password to safeguard the security of your
network. To configure the router, open your browser, type “http: //192.168.1.1” into the
address bar and click “Go” to get to the login page.
Save this address in your Favorites for future reference.
At the User name prompt, type “admin”. And the Password prompt, type “admin”. You
can change these later if you wish. Click “OK” to login the router and you can start to
configure it now.
