10 Accessing the User Interface 4 1. You can access the web-based management user interface of the Router using the Internet browser on a computer connected to the Router. Type “http://192.168.11.1” in your browser’s address bar. Then press the “Enter” key. Note: It is strongly recommended that you use a computer physically connected to the Router with an RJ45 cable for initial setup. Using a wirelessly connected computer for initial setup is not recommended. 2. The following screen will appear in your browser to prompt you to log in. The default User Name is “Root” and the default Password is blank. Click on the“OK”buttontologin. Note: It is strongly recommended that you set a password for increased security.
