Router Software & Admin Interface

Once you have connected the router towards your LAN and WAN, make sure to restart your cable modem. Access your browser and you will get access to the Installation wizard. If that does not happen, point your browser towards 192.168.1.1 (default router IP with admin as password if needed).

Our settings are immediately detected, the router address an IP over DHCP to us and we are good to go. The internet connection works as the router found a firmware update. We will want to update immediately, always update ASAP in these times of security breaches and vulnerabilities.

Once you logged into the logon screen (username and passwords for SSID WIFI and router can be found on the sticker at the backside of the router). Above the main menu with options and an overview of the router functionality. That, I have to say, looks really good.
I'm blocking out sensitive information in the screen shots BTW these would be the white boxes.

Network Map is a visual topology map that shows all the devices that are connected to the network. Users can simple manage each device by clicking on its icon and change parental control settings, select wireless bands, filter by device type, or even remove devices from the network, plus more. Network Map provides a simple more graphical way to monitor and manage a home network.

Users can access their home network remotely on their iOS or Android smart phone or tablet to check the connection status of their devices, give a guest access to the Internet, or block a child from accessing social networking sites.  You may change the name of its guest networks (two of them, one for each band) to whatever you like.
