Configuring La Fonera via wired interface

Whilst most fonero's generally configure the La Fonera via the private ssid, it is possible to configure the La Fonera via the wired interface (the RJ-45 jack on the back of the La Fonera). Mostly one would use this method incase you are not able to connect to the private ssid (your OS/wifi adapter doesn't support the default encryption of WPA/WPA2)

Steps to be taken are as follows

On your computer set the following static IP/netmask

static IP: 169.254.255.2
netmask 255.255.0.0

Connect the included ethernet cable from the computers RJ-45 jack to the La Fonera's RJ-45 jack

Via your browser go to the following URL

http://169.254.255.1/

Voila, you are know at the router configuration page. Change settings as desired and enjoy the La Fonera.

Please note that the default username/password for the router configuration page is

username: admin
password : admin
