Router Setup Guide
If the computer is connected to the router using a powerline network
device, the encryption password must be identical on both the router and
the powerline device connected to the computer. This can be achieved in
two ways:
• If the utility supplied with your powerline device supports remote
encryption key settings, use this feature to set the router password to
the same as the local powerline device password.
• If the utility supplied with your powerline device does not support
remote encryption key settings, then you will need to manually set the
router password to match the local powerline device password.
• If a computer is connected directly to the router using an Ethernet
cable, the computer will not need to do any encryption setup.
If your computer has been previously connected to the Internet
• If the computer has been used previously to share Internet access
using a proxy server, this must be disabled first.
• If the PC has a ‘Dial Up Manager’ enabled to connect to the Internet,
this must also be disabled.
Connection to the router using a web interface:
1) Open a web browser (Internet Explorer or Netscape) and enter the
router’s default address: 192.168.8.1 in the Address field, as shown below
and press ‘Enter.’
