This chapter will describe each screen of the web-based utility and each screen's key functions. How to Access the Web-Based Utility The web-based utility can be accessed using a web browser. If the Gaming Adapter has already been configured and is associated with a router or access point, you can access the web-based utilty from a computer by entering http://wga600n in the address bar of your web browser. NOTE: If the IP Address Mode of the Gaming Adapter has been set to DHCP and you cannot access the web-based utility using the address http://wga600n and you are not sure of the IP address of the Gaming Adapter, try to find the address in the DHCP Clients Table of your router or access point. If you are not using a router or access point or are unable to locate the address, you can reset the Gaming Adapter by pressing the Reset button on the back of the Gaming Adapter for approximately five seconds, using a pin or straightened paper clip. This will reset the Gaming Adapter back to the factory default settings and assign the Gaming Adapter a static IP address of 192.168.1.250. If the Gaming Adapter has not been configured and is using the factory default settings, you must connect a computer to the Gaming Adapter using an Ethernet connection to access the web-based utility. You will need to configure the Ethernet connection on the computer with a static IP address and subnet mask. The IP address of your Ethernet adapter should be set to a specific IP address. 1. In the IP address field, enter the address 192.168.1.x (x should be replaced by a number between 2 and 240, such as 10). 2. In the Subnet Mask field, enter 255.255.255.0. NOTE: The steps to assign a static IP address to the Ethernet adapter on your computer vary by operating system. For instructions, please refer to the help documentation of your specific operating system.
