Fast Setup provides a simple method of doing an initial setup
from a PC. Your router is shipped in factory default mode.
1. Your PC must be set to obtain an IP address
automatically using DHCP.
2. Plug the PC into your router’s Ethernet interface or
connect to the wireless LAN (WIFI) using the
credentials printed on the label of your router.
3. When the Power LED is flashing green, use a web
browser, enter http://192.168.0.1 to access your router.
On the setup screen, select, Getting Started.
4. Once connected, fill in the required fields, apply changes
to save and exit. The configuration changes will be
immediately applied to the router
5. The router’s web configuration sign on screen will be
displayed. Using the credentials, you previously defined
in Step 4, you can now access your router’s full
configuration.
