You are planning to connect to a new, out-of-the-box, router for the initial configuration. This router allows you to connect using an Ethernet port, and you know that it has a Web interface. You have your laptop at hand. How do you proceed to successfully access the router?

What will be an ideal response?


Most router people use a laptop and a crossover cable to connect to the new router. To get to the Web interface, first set a static address for your computer that will place your PC on the same network ID as the router. If, for example, the router is set to 192.168.1.1/24 from the factory, set your computer's IP address to 192.168.1.2/24. Then connect to the router (some routers tell you exactly where to connect, so read the documentation first), and check the link lights to verify you're properly connected. Open up your
Web browser and type in the IP address.
