Linksys E1000 Chapter 3: Advanced Configuration After setting up the Router with the setup software (located on the CD-ROM), the Router will be ready for use. If you would like to change its advanced settings, use the Router's browser-based utility. This chapter describes each web page of the utility and each page's key functions. You can access the utility via a web browser on a computer connected to the Router. The browser-based utility has these main tabs: Setup, Wireless, Security, Access Restrictions, Applications & Gaming, Administration, and Status. Additional tabs will be available after you click one of the main tabs. How to Access the Browser-Based Utility To access the browser-based utility, launch the web browser on your computer, and enter the Router's default Internet Protocol (IP) address, 192.168.1.1, or the Router's default Uniform Resource Locator (URL) address, my.E1000, in the Address field. Then press Enter. A login screen will appear. (Non-Windows 7 users will see a similar screen.) Leave the User name field blank. Then enter the password you set up during the setup software. (If you did not run the setup software, then use the default password, admin. You can set a new password on the Administration > Management screen. Refer to Administration > Management, page 32.) Click OK to continue. Login Screen NOTE: You can also access the browser-based utility through Cisco Connect. For more information, refer to Router Settings, page 10.
