Chapter 3:
Advanced Configuration
After setting up the Router with the Setup Wizard (located
on the CD-ROM), the Router will be ready for use. If you’d
like to change its advanced settings, use the Router’s web-
based utility. This chapter describes each web page of the
utility and each page’s key functions. You can access the
utility via a web browser on a computer connected to the
Router.
The web-based utility has these main tabs: Setup, Wireless,
Security, Storage, Access Restrictions, Applications &
Gaming, Administration, and Status. Additional tabs will
be available after you click one of the main tabs.
NOTE: When you first install the Router, you
should use the Setup Wizard on the Setup
CD-ROM. If you want to configure advanced
settings, use this chapter to learn about the
web-based utility.
How to Access the Web-Based Utility
To access the web-based utility, launch the web browser on
your computer, and enter the Router’s default IP address,
192.168.1.1 or http://wrt160n.com in the Address field.
Then, press Enter.
A password request screen will appear. (Non-Windows XP
users will see a similar screen.) Leave the User name field
blank. The first time you open the web-based utility, use
the default password admin. (You can set a new password
on the Administration > Management screen.) Click OK to
continue.
