How to manually set up your router
After setting up the router with the setup software (located on the CD), the router will be ready for use. If you would like to change its advanced settings, or if the software does not run, use the router’s browser-based utility.You can access the utility with a web browser on a computer connected to the router. For more information on using the utility, see “How to open the browser-based utility” on page 4.
