Notes:


It is recommended that you change your default password for the 
router. You can do this by opening a web-browser and navigating to 
the following page, depending on your router model:

BEFSR41: http://192.168.1.1 (User: admin, Password: admin) 

RP614: http://192.168.0.1 (User: admin, Password: password) 

This brings you to the router's Setup page. From here you will be 
able to change the default password for your router.

By default the router will use its own MAC address while connected 
to the network. Please do not clone the MAC of your computer.  This 
has caused switch ports to stop functioning and downtime for the 
resident.
