I often find it easier to read just the Table of Contents and or the Index rather than starting at the beginning and reading to the end. Of course, it helps to have some general target to be looking for. However, since we know that we are wanting to configure/change the default user name and password
and we will be doing that manually, those terms should be useful in finding where that type of information might be in the manual. And, sure enough, on page v there is something about "Connecting the router to the Internet..." Looking in that TOC section we find, "Overview of How to Access the ... Router"
That sounds like something that might be necessary to make any of the changes we want, let's see what's on that page. Thanks to the manual being a PDF, all those items in the TOC are actual links to their respective pages, just like in a browser, just click a topic and "SHZAM!" you're at the page and topic you want!
The only other item we need is the 'address' of the router. Actually, that address is also printed on that same page, "
http://www.routerlogin.net" If that doesn't connect you to the router, try the IP number listed above in post #10. Browsing the pages for that topic leads to page 3-10, where, low and behold, the default user name and password are printed for all the world to see. And I assure you, 99.99% of the "world" that wants to know those two things will have already been aware of them.
All the other set-up stuff can wait but this simple stuff should be done, yesterday. If you still don't want to tackle it, remove the antennae, if possible, that will severely restrict the range of the signal. If the antennae isn't removable, cover the whole thing with a tent made from aluminum foil!
If that doesn't work, simply remove any power to the ting until you can get the help you need.
It's not like you weren't able to access the interweb before you got this thing, right? But I know you can do it!
Just relax and remember you've got help right here!
