Accessing Your Router After Installation

The Smart Wizard only appears when you first install the router or when the router is in its factory
default state (for example, if you have reset the router to its factory default settings). If you want to
change the settings after installing and configuring your router, you can click the desktop
shortcut—a preconfigured shortcut

placed on your desktop at installation—to open the

router management interface.

“Configuring Your Wireless Network”

To ensure optimum performance of your high-speed wireless router, the
wireless adapter card for each computer in your network should support the
same technology as your router (see the online Reference Manual for more
information).
