Installing the Cisco RV260W

To prevent the device from overheating or being damaged:

• Ambient Temperature — Do not operate the device in an area that
exceeds an ambient temperature of 104°F (40°C).

•Air Flow — Be sure that there is adequate airflow around the device. If
wall mounting the device, make sure that the heat dissipation holes are
to the side.

• Circuit Overloading — Adding the device to the power outlet must not
overload that circuit.

• Mechanical Loading — Be sure that the device is level and stable to
avoid any hazardous conditions and that it is secure to prevent it from
sliding or shifting out of position. Do not place anything on top of the
device, as excessive weight may damage it.

WARNING This unit contains a replaceable battery.

CAUTION Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect

type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

Desktop Mounting

For desktop mounting, place the device on a flat surface so that it sits on its
four rubber feet.

Wall Mounting

The RV260W router has two wall-mount slots on the bottom panel. To
mount the router on a wall, you will need to use the wall-mount kit screws
(included).

Guidelines for Mounting the Router on a Wall

When choosing a location for mounting the router on a wall, consider cable
limitations and wall structure.

• Mount the router with the front panel facing upward. Make sure to mount
the router low enough so that you can see the LEDs.

• Make sure that the power supply rests on a horizontal surface such as
the floor or a table. If the power supply is not supported, the strain on
the power adapter cable could cause it to disconnect from the router.

• Do not install the router or its power supply next to a heat source of any
kind, including heating vents.

You can mount the router on a hollow wall or a wall stud. To mount the
router, follow these steps:

STEP 1 Position the router on the wall to determine where to attach the two

mounting screws. Drill two pilot holes at approximately 109 mm
apart.

STEP 2 Insert a screw into each hole, leaving a gap between the surface

and the base of the screw head of 1 to 1.2 mm.

STEP 3 Place the router wall-mount slots over the screws and slide the

router down until the screws fit snugly into the wall-mount slots.

WARNING Insecure mounting might damage the router or cause injury.

Cisco is not responsible for damages incurred due to insecure
wall-mounting.

WARNING For safety reasons, please ensure that the heat dissipation

holes are facing sideways.

The power switch is on by default. The power light on the front
panel is solid green when the power adapter is connected
properly and the device is finished booting.

STEP 6 Plug the other end of the adapter into an electrical outlet. Use the

plug (supplied) specific to your country.

STEP 7 Continue with the instructions in the Using the Setup Wizard to

configure the device.

Getting Started with the Configuration

To configure the router, you can either use Ethernet or wireless. Please
follow these steps to access the Wizard and then the web-based
configuration utility from your computer by Ethernet:

STEP 1 Ethernet: Power on the PC that you connected to the LAN port. Your

PC becomes a DHCP client of the device and receives an IP
address in the 192.168.1.xxx range.

Wireless: Search the wireless SSID "CiscoSB-Setup", and connect
to this SSID with the passphrase "cisco123".

STEP 2 Locate the IP address of the router. The router IP address is

192.168.1.1 by default. As well,

a. The router can be accessed and managed by Cisco network

tools and services including the Cisco FindIT Network
Discovery Utility that enables you to automatically discover all
supported Cisco devices in the same local network segment
as your computer. You can get a snapshot view of each device
or launch the product configuration utility to view and configure
the settings. For more information, see www.cisco.com/go/

findit.

b. The router is Bonjour-enabled and automatically broadcast

their services and listen for services being advertised by other
Bonjour-enabled devices. If you have a Bonjour-enabled
browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer with a Bonjour

Cisco RV260W Router Quick Start Guide 7

plug-in, or the Apple Mac Safari browser, you can find the
router on your local network without knowing its IP address.

You can download the complete Bonjour for Microsoft Internet
Explorer browser from Apple’s website by visiting:

http://www.apple.com/bonjour/.

STEP 3 Launch a web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or

Mozilla Firefox.

STEP 4 In the address bar, enter the default IP address of the device,

https://192.168.1.1. A site security certificate, message is
displayed. The Cisco RV260W uses a self-signed security
certificate. This message appears because the device is not
known to your computer.

STEP 5 Enter the default user name: cisco and password: cisco in the User

Name and Password fields.

STEP 6 Click Login.

STEP 7 Follow the Setup Wizard instructions to finish the router installation.

We strongly recommend that you use the Setup Wizard for the first
installation.The Setup Wizard turns on the Wi-Fi radio, which allows
you to connect wirelessly. For more advanced configurations, see
the Administration Guide. A link to the Administration Guide is
found in Where to Go from Here.

Congratulations, you can now start using your router.

Changing the Administrator Username and Password

To change the Administrator username and password on the device:

STEP 1 From the Getting Started page, select Change Administrator

Password or select System Configuration > User Accounts from

the navigation bar.

STEP 2 Check a username from the Local User Membership list and click

STEP 4 Enter the old Password.

STEP 5 Enter the new Password.

STEP 6 Confirm the new Password.

STEP 7 Select the group (admin, guest) from the drop-down list in the

Password Strength Meter.

8 Cisco RV260W Router Quick Start Guide

STEP 8 Click Save.

Troubleshoot Your Connection

If you cannot access your device by using the Setup Wizard, the device
may not be reachable from your computer. You can test network
connections by using ping on a computer running Windows:

STEP 1 Open a command window by using Start > Run and enter cmd.

STEP 2 At the Command window prompt, enter ping and the device IP

address. For example, ping 192.168.1.1 (the default static IP
address of the device).

If you can reach the device, you should get a reply similar to the
following:

Pinging 192.168.1.1 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128

If you cannot reach the device, you should get a reply similar to the
following:

Pinging 192.168.1.1 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.

Possible Causes and Resolutions

Bad Ethernet connection:

Check the LEDs for the proper indications. Check the connectors of the
Ethernet cable to ensure that they are firmly plugged into the device
and your computer.

Wrong or conflicting IP address:

Verify that you are using the correct IP address of the device.

Verify that no other device is using the same IP address as this device.

No IP route:

If the device and your computer are in different IP subnetworks,
remote access must be enabled and you need at least one router on
the network to route the packets between the two subnetworks.
