Cisco RV220W Administration Guide
Configuration Next Steps
After connecting your RV220W, it tries to automatically configure your settings.
However, we recommend that you change some default settings to provide better
security and performance. In addition, you may need to manually configure some
settings. A suggested outline of steps follows:
•
Change the administrator name and password. See
page
143.
•
Change the idle timeout value. The Device Manager, by default, logs you out
after 10 minutes of inactivity. This can be frustrating if you are trying to
configure your device. See
•
(Optional) If your connection is not working, or your Internet service requires
a login account and password, see
•
(Optional) If you already have a DHCP server on your network, and you do
not want the Cisco RV220W to act as a DHCP server, see
LAN, page
36.
•
Configure your wireless network, especially wireless security. See
Chapter 3, "Configuring the Wireless Network."
•
Configure your Virtual Private Network (VPN) using QuickVPN. The
QuickVPN software is found on the documentation and software CD that
shipped with your RV220W. See
To verify the hardware installation, complete the following tasks:
•
Check the LED states, as described in
RV220W, page
•
Connect a PC to an available LAN port and verify that you can connect to a
website on the Internet, such as www.cisco.com.
•
Configure a device to connect to your wireless network and verify the
wireless network is functional. See
