// Changing the IP Address

1. To change your IP address, access your router's admin page. Open any browser and
type your device's IP address into the URL bar. This will take you to the router
admin interface.

2. Inside the router admin page, go to Network > LAN. Change the IP Address field
to your desired IP address (e.g., 10.10.10.1). Also, update the Subnet Mask to
match the new IP address. Then click Save.

3. After saving, you can access the router again by entering the new IP address in
your browser’s URL bar.

4. If the page does not respond, try restarting the Ethernet connection. To do
this, go to Network & Sharing Center > Change adapter settings. Right-click the
Ethernet connection, click Disable, then right-click again to Enable it.

5. Once the router admin page loads, log in using your credentials (e.g., username:
admin, password: admin).

// Changing Wireless Settings (Network Name and Password)

1. To change the wireless network name (SSID), navigate to Wireless > Wireless
Settings. On that page, you will find the field for changing the network name.

2. To change the wireless password, go to Wireless > Wireless Security. Locate the
field labeled Wireless Password, enter your new password, then click Save.

// Disabling DHCP

1. You can disable DHCP by going to DHCP > DHCP Settings, then selecting the
Disable option.

Q: Is it recommended to disable DHCP?


A: No, it is not necessary. It is recommended to keep DHCP enabled to avoid
configuration issues or confusion.

// MAC Filtering (Blocking Devices from Connecting to Wi-Fi)

1. Before enabling MAC filtering, make sure you know the MAC address of the device
you want to block. To find it, go to DHCP > DHCP Client List. This page will show
all connected devices along with their corresponding MAC addresses.

2. Once you have the MAC address, go to Wireless > Wireless MAC Filtering. Click
Add New, then enter the MAC address and an optional description (e.g., device
name). Set the Status to Enabled, and click Save.

If filtering rules are set:

• Deny = The device will connect to the router but will not have internet access.
• Allow = The device will connect and be granted internet access.
