Default Re: Trying to set up a router

Don't use the software, you don't need to.

Plug your internet (cable, dsl, whatever) into the router's WAN/Internet port

Plug your computer into one of the LAN ports

Make sure your computer is set to obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP=on)

Go to a CMD prompt (run-->cmd)

type in ipconfig
Your IP address should be something like 192.168.1.100
Your gateway should be 192.168.1.1

If these numbers don't match up, type an ipconfig /release, then ipconfig /renew. This will get a new IP address from your router

Go in internet explorer to 192.168.1.1. Log in with the default username/password specified in your manual or quickstart guide

Change any settings you need to

Profit
