Configuring Networking Devices

In general networking products such as modems, routers, access points can be configured by opening their interface. To open the interface first we must know the IP address of the device. To find that check the IP address of the computer connected to the device. That computer will have an IP address, subnet mask and default gateway. The default gateway would be the IP address of the device. Type this IP address in the internet browser of that computer and it will open the utility or the interface of the networking device and go ahead in configuring it.
