How to connect directly to your router
You can configure your router by directly accessing it on your home network
instead of through the Internet-based Cisco Connect Cloud.
To connect to your router while you are on your home network:
1. Disconnect the cable from the yellow Internet port on the back of your
router. If you do not have Internet access, this step is not necessary.
2. Open your computer’s web browser.
3. Go to www.ciscoconnectcloud.com and log into your router using the
router password you created when you installed your router. (When there
is no Internet connection, this address re-routes directly to your router.)
4. After you finish configuring your router, reconnect the cable to the
router’s Internet port.
How to improve your wireless connection speed
Follow these tips to improve your network’s wireless connection speed:
• Make sure that your router is in a good location:
• For the widest coverage area, install your router near the center of
your home, and near the ceiling, if possible.
• Avoid placing the router on or near metal objects (such as file cabinets
and metal furniture), reflective surfaces (such as glass or mirrors), or
masonry walls.
• Any obstruction can weaken the wireless signal (even non-metallic
objects), so the fewer obstructions between the router and the
wireless device, the better.
• Place the router in a location away from other electronics, motors, and
fluorescent lighting.
• Many environmental variables can affect the router’s performance, so
if your wireless signal is weak, place the router in several locations and
test the signal strength to determine the ideal position.
• If possible, upgrade wireless network interfaces (such as wireless
network cards in computers) from older wireless standards to 802.11n. If
a wirelessly networked device uses an older standard, the performance
of the entire wireless network may be slower.
• If your router is a dual-band router, split your network traffic so the
high-bandwidth traffic uses the 5 GHz band. For more information, see
“Obtenir de meilleurs résultats avec votre routeur double bande” on
