Basic Configuration and Internet Access
Basic Setup (Setup First)
This group includes Administrator Password Setup, Ethernet TCP/IP and DHCP
Setup, and ISDN Setup.
Changing the Administrator Password
On first setup the router requires no password. However, for security reasons, we strongly

Click Administrator Password Setup, the following screen will open.
