Chapter 6: Configuring the Wireless-G Access Point

Overview

The Access Point has been designed to be functional right out of the box, with the default settings in the Setup
Wizard. However, if you'd like to change these settings, the Access Point can be configured through your web
browser with the Web-Based Utility. This chapter explains how to configure the Access Point in this manner.
For your convenience, use the Access Point's Web-based Utility to administer it. This chapter will explain all of
the functions in this Utility. The Utility can be accessed via Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator
through use of a computer connected with an Ethernet cable to the Access Point.
For a basic network setup, most users only have to use the following screens of the Utility:
• Basic Setup
On the Basic Setup screen, enter your basic network settings here.
• Password
Click the Setup tab and then select the Password screen. The Access Point's default password is admin. To
secure the Access Point, change the Password from its default.
