Lynksys Router Setup for Dynamic IP Address
- Take the cable out of the existing computer and plug it into the WAN or Internet port on the router.
- Take the cable that came with your router and plug it into the computer and one of the LAN ports (numbered) of the router.
- Power up the router, you should have Power, Internet and one of the numbered port lights on.
- Open Internet Explorer. You should now be connected to the Internet. NOTE: It is very important to use wireless security to avoid access to your network and someone hijacking your Internet connection. If someone uses your connection, you are responsible for their actions.
- Log into your router to setup your security settings, type in the address line 192.168.1.1 and hit enter.
- You will see a log in screen for the Linksys Router. The default log in is Username: (leave blank) Password: admin . The newer wireless N router requires 'admin' for both username and password. Click OK.
- Once logged into the router, click "Wireless".
- Click "Wireless Security" to set up your security settings.
Do not operate your router without implementing wireless security. You may find out more about wireless network security by clicking here. You may also consult your router documentation located on your Linksys CD.
