Well I need help setting up the RangeMax Router WPN824 v3

To set-up and secure the wireless router from unauthorized access, follow these steps :-
1. Connect the wireless router to your computer with a LAN cable.
2. Start your browser and enter the router's configuration URL IP address.
3. Enter the router setup, login and password
4. Change the admin password
5. Go to the wireless settings and change the default SSID and turn off SSID broadcast.
6. Setup encryption key the strongest is WPA2 (if not then WPA).
7. For further security measures - turn on MAC address filtering and enter the MAC address of the wireless cards on the computer/s you want to connect to this wireless router.
8. Record the settings you have made and keep it in a safe place and Save the settings.
9. Configure the wireless cards on the computer/s with the SSID and encryption settings of the router.
10. Remove the LAN cable between the router and the computer then the computers should be able to connect to the router wirelessly.

1) Shut down the DSL/Cable modem
2) Install the router and power it up.
3) Power up the modem and wait for the appropriate lights (power, ethernet, and activity – something along these lines)
4) Connect the modem and router with an ethernet cable (make sure to put the cable in the WAN port of the router).
5) Connect Port 1 on the router to the NIC on the computer using ethernet cable and check to see there is a light at the correct port.
6) Input your routers id (usually an IP address or an URL) in the address bar of your browser (try just using IE for now).
7) A window will open asking for a username and password (these are given to you in the instructions of the router).
8) Now you are in the configuration page of your router (wireless most probably). Here you can set the encryption, new passwords etc…
9) If everything goes alright and the settings are successful you can now try the wireless connection.
10) At the computer with the wireless connection, make sure the connection is on (you can use either the application that came with the router or windows wireless configuration). Right click the icon in the system tray and “view available networks”. If it comes up in a window saying “Windows is not setup for wireless networks” then you must right click on the correct icon in the tray..
