Cisco WRVS4400N Wireless-N Gigabit Security Router with VPN Administration Guide
To configure the WRVS4400N router, plug a PC into the router and launch the web-
based configuration utility as follows.
Before setting up the router, make sure your PCs are configured to obtain an IP (or
TCP/IP) address automatically from the router.
Launch a web browser, such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox.
In the Address field enter http://192.168.1.1 and press Enter.
In the User Name and Password fields, enter admin.
The default user name and password is admin.
Click OK.
For added security, you should later set a new password using the Administration
> Management window of the web-based utility.
The web-based utility will appear with the Setup menu and Summary selected.
Click WAN under the Setup menu.
If requested by your ISP (usually cable ISPs), complete the Host Name and Domain
Name fields, and the MTU and MTU Size fields. Otherwise, leave the defaults.
In the WAN window, choose an Internet Connection Type from the
drop-down menu. Depending on which internet connection type you select,
additional setup may be required.
The Internet Connection Types are:
• Automatic Configuration - DHCP: If you are connecting through DHCP or a
dynamic IP address from your ISP, keep this default setting.
• Static IP: If your ISP assigns you a static IP address, select Static IP from the
drop-down menu. Complete the Internet IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default
Gateway, and DNS fields. Enter at least one DNS address.
• PPPoE: If you are connecting through PPPoE, select PPPoE from the drop-
down menu. Complete the User Name and Password fields.
• PPTP: PPTP is a service used in Europe only. If you are using a PPTP
connection, check with your ISP for the necessary setup information.
