Welcome
Thank you for choosing the Cisco RV132W ADSL2+ Wireless-N VPN Router.
The RV132W provides business class DSL connectivity for SOHO, small businesses
and remote professionals.
This guide describes how to physically install your Cisco RV132W and launch
the web-based Device Manager.
Installing Cisco RV132W
To prevent the device from overheating or being damaged:
- Ambient Temperature— Do not operate the device in an area that exceeds an ambient temperature of 104°F (40°C).
- Air Flow— Be sure that there is adequate air flow around the device. If wall mounting the wireless access point, make sure the heat dissipation holes are to the side.
- Mechanical Loading— Be sure that the device is level and stable to avoid any hazardous conditions and that it is secure to prevent it from sliding or shifting out of position. Do not place anything on top of the wireless access point, as excessive weight might damage it.
Place the Cisco RV132W unit vertically into the stand with the four rubber feet.

Connecting the Cisco RV132W
NOTE You must connect one PC with an Ethernet cable for the purpose of the initial configuration. After you complete the initial configuration, administrative tasks can be performed using a wireless connection.
STEPS
-
Power off all equipment, including the cable or DSL modem, the PC, and the Cisco RV132W.
-
For an Ethernet WAN connection, connect one end of the Ethernet cable to your Internet access device (typically a modem), and connect the other end of the cable to the WAN port.
For an ADSL connection, connect your DSL cable directly to the ADSL port on the device. If required by your Service Provider, make sure that you use an ADSL splitter.
For a 3G/4G WAN connection, connect the 3G/4G USB dongle into the USB port. Then, the firewall router will detect the 3G/4G dongle and subscribe to the ISP network.
Note: This application must use the specific 3G/4G dongle which is supported by the router. The 3G/4G SIM card must be configured with the user defined PIN code. -
Connect another Ethernet cable from one of the LAN (Ethernet) ports to the Ethernet port on the PC.
-
Power on the cable or DSL modem and wait until the connection is active.
-
Connect the power adapter to the device’s POWER port.
CAUTION: Use only the power adapter that is supplied with the unit. Using a different power adapter could damage the device.
The POWER button is on by default. The power light on the front panel is solid green when the power adapter is connected properly and the device is finished booting. -
Plug the other end of the adapter into an electrical outlet. Use the plug (supplied) that is specific to your country.
-
Continue with the instructions in the Using the Setup Wizard to configure the device.
Using the Setup Wizard
NOTE The Setup Wizard and Device Manager are supported on Microsoft
Internet Explorer 6.0 or later, Mozilla Firefox 3.0 or later, and Apple Safari
3.0 or later.
To configure the device by using the Setup Wizard:
STEPS
-
Power on the PC that you connected to the LAN port in Step 2 of the Connecting the Cisco RV132W section. Your PC becomes a DHCP client of the firewall and receives an IP address in the 192.168.1.xxx range.
-
Start a web browser on your PC. In the Address bar, enter the default IP address of the firewall: 192.168.1.1. A message appears about the site’s security certificate. The Cisco RV132W uses a self-signed security certificate and this message appears because the firewall is not known to your PC. You can safely click Continue to this website (or the option shown on your particular web browser) to go to the web site.
-
When the login page appears, enter the user name and password. The default user name is cisco. The default password is cisco. Passwords are case sensitive.
NOTE For security reasons, change the default user name and password as soon as possible. See the Changing the Administrator User Name and Password section. -
Click Log In.
Changing the Administrator User Name and Password
STEPS
- From the Getting Started page, choose Change Default Administrator Password.
- Select Edit Admin Settings.
- In the Administrator Settings section, enter the new administrator username. We recommend that you do not use “cisco.”
- Enter the old password.
- Enter the new password. Passwords should not contain dictionary words from any language or the default password, and they should contain a mix of letters (both upper- and lowercase), numbers, and symbols. Passwords must be at least 8 but no more than 30 characters.
- Enter the new password again to confirm.
- Click Save.
