How to Configure a Linksys WRT54G/WRT300N series to function with the Grandstream


Please follow these instructions to configure a Linksys WRT54G/WRT300N series router to work with the Grandstream.  These instructions are only if you are connecting the Grandstream to one of the numbered ports on the Linksys router.


First, turn off the power to the Grandstream, the router can stay powered on.

Connect an ethernet cable from one of the numbered ports on the router to the WAN port of the Grandstream.

Then, power on the Grandstream.

Now, we will need to enable WAN port Web access to the Grandstream.  Please refer to Enabling WAN port web access on the Grandstream for information.


Now, Connect your computer to the Linksys router and login.
  - To log into the router, Open your browser window and in the address bar, type http://192.168.1.1 and press enter.
  - Default username is admin and password is admin.
  - Once logged in, click on Security.



  - Click on the radio button next to Disabled and click on Save Settings.
