Then you can manage it wirelessly from then on just by going to the router's internal IP. That's what I do now - I set it up by plugging in my ethernet, now I just go to 192.168.1.1 (or however you configure it) from any of my wireless clients for routine maintenance. If you want to do this wirelessly, you'll connect with its default settings (don't connect it to your first router while setting it up). Go to 192.168.1.1 in your browser, enter the default user/password (usually admin/admin), and configure it for your network. I say don't connect it first so you eliminate the possibility of collisions on the network while you're configuring it.

I've connected the router to my dsl modem which is in another room from my computer. If possible, I'd like to setup the router, security settings, etc, wirelessly. I can already connect to the router but it's an open connection. thanks Can you point me towards directions to setup up this router, wirelessly, if possible.

I’ve connected the router to my dsl modem which is in another room from my computer.

If possible, I’d like to setup the router, security settings, etc, wirelessly.

I can already connect to the router but it’s an open connection.
