Installing the Router

mounting brackets that come with the router to the sides. If not rack-
mounting, ensure that the router is physically mounted near power and
network connections.
2. Connect power to the device.
3. Connect an Ethernet cable from your computer to any of the LAN ports
on the router.

Changing the Router Password
It is strongly recommended that you change the default password for the router. Please
refer to the user manual for step by step instructions.
Accessing the Router GUI
1. Make sure your network card is set to obtain an IP address automatically. Then open
any Internet browser and go to the address http://192.168.1.99 or you can simply
type pakedgerouter.com Note: For best results we recommend using Mozilla
Firefox as your web browser.
2. Enter the default username pakedge and the password pakedger. Click login.
Connecting to the Internet
The router supports the three main types of Internet connections:
• DHCP (Typically used by cable companies and DSL basic service)
• Static IP (Fixed public IP address mostly used by Business Class Broadband
services)
• PPPoE (Used by DSL companies such as AT&T)

Determine what type of Internet connection you have from your Internet Service Provider
(ISP), and then follow one of the three instruction sets below to connect the router to the
Internet.
DHCP:
By default, the router will connect to the Internet using DHCP. If your ISP uses DHCP, you
may need to reset the modem to get Internet access. If you are using a modem that has a
router built into it, you may have to congure DMZ settings to allow complete functionality
of the RK-1.
Static IP:
To congure the router to a static IP, complete the following steps:
1. Hover your mouse towards the top of page to see the menu. Click on Network
Zones.

2. Click on Edit under WAN zone.
3. Select Static Address for the Protocol.

10
4. Click on Switch Protocol.
5. Enter the IP address from your ISP. Select the appropriate Subnet Mask from
your ISP. You can select custom to enter a custom subnet mask. Then enter your
Default Gateway and DNS Server. Leave the override MAC address at default.
Click Apply. The router now has the Static IP congured on it.
