1. to the same hub/switch, and then launch a browser to link the management interface address which is set to https://192.168.1.1 by default.

The DHCP server of the VPN Router is enabled. Therefore, the LAN PC will get IP from the VPN Router. If user needs to set IP address of LAN PC manually, please set the IP address within the range between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.254 inclusively, and assigned the subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

Step 2: The browser prompts you for the login credentials. (Both are “admin” by default.)

Default IP address: 192.168.1.1
Default user name: admin
Default password: admin
Default DHCP Server: ON
< Wireless Router>
Default SSID (2.4G): PLANET_2.4G
Default SSID (5G): PLANET_5G
Encryption: open

Administrators are strongly suggested to change the default admin and password to ensure system security.

Step 3: After entering the password, the main screen appears as shown in Figure 3-3.

Now, you can use the Web management interface to continue the VPN Router management. Please refer to the user’s manual for more.

Administrators are strongly suggested to change the default password and Wi-Fi SSID on the first login to safeguard system security.
