3. Configure the wireless functions of the web utility using the following
instructions. (Refer to Chapter 6 for more information.)
A. Access the web utility by opening your web browser and typing
http://192.168.1.1 in the browser’s Address box. (This number is the
default IP address of your Router.) Press Enter. (See Figure 4-2.)
B. After entering the address into the web browser, a password request
page will pop up. (See Figure 4-3.) Leave the User Name field empty,
but type admin into the Password field.
C. The basic Setup screen is the first screen you will see when you access the
utility, but is the only one you need to set up your Wireless PC Card.
(See Figure 4-4.) If you have already installed and set up your router, you
have already seen this screen and have already properly configured all of
the screen’s values. More detailed explanations and instructions can be
found by clicking the page’s Help button. To clear any values you’ve
entered, click Cancel and re-enter the information. To apply any set-
tings that you have changed, click the Apply button. Once all settings
are correct, click Continue.

Chapter 4: Adding Wireless
Capabilities to Your Router
Now that your Cable/DSL Wireless-Ready Router is wired into your network,
you can make your Router wireless. You can also wait until a later time. You
will need a WPC11 Wireless PC Card (sold separately.)
1. Power off the Router.
2. Locate the PCMCIA slot on the back of the Router. Insert the Wireless PC
Card into the PCMCIA slot in the direction shown in Figure 4-1. It is very
important to install it with the LEDs facing up and in the correct direction
or damage to the Router can occur. Push the Wireless PC Card into the slot
until it is securely in place.
Make sure to insert the WPC11 Wireless PC Card in the direction
shown in the warning label below.
