1. As you enter any one of the mentioned web addresses, a login window will appear on your screen, asking you to enter the username and password of your router, either default or configured.
2. The default login username and password is the admin for your router. After entering the default login user name and password of your router, you have reached the interface page of your router.
3. Once you log in to the home page of your router, click Interface Setup>Wireless.
