Password
It is strongly recommended that you set a password for the Router. When you
first power up the Router, there is no default Password setting assigned.
If you leave the password field blank, all users on your network will be able to
access the Router simply by entering the unit's IP address into their web brows-
er's location window.
If you select the Restore Factory Default option and click the Apply button,
you will clear all of the Router’s settings.
Do not restore the factory defaults unless you are having difficulties with the
Router and have exhausted all other troubleshooting measures. Once the Router
is reset, you will have to re-enter all of your configuration data.
