Networking Fundamentals
3. ______ After you have completed the configuration, open the network
view to see all computers connected to the router. You can open the
network view by selecting
Network
from the
Start
menu. You will
have a view of all devices being served by the router, similar to that
in the following screen capture. If you are performing the lab activity
by yourself, you may have a view of only your computer. You can
only view the devices if you have enabled the Network Discovery
feature and have chosen the “Private” location. Network Discovery
is disabled when the “Public” network setting is selected.
4. ______ To access the wireless router, you will need to type and enter the
default IPv4 address of the router into the address bar of your
Web browser. The default is typically 192.168.1.1, or very similar.
Check the manufacturer’s installation guide for the correct IPv4
address. You will be prompted for an administrator user name and
a password. Again, check the manufacturer’s information for the
correct administrator user name and default password.
