System & Admin
From here, we can configure the basic aspects of the router, such as its hostname, timezone, and login password.
🔸 Router Password
After accessing the router’s admin panel, navigate to "System > Administration" in the top menu or click the "Custom router's admin password" button in the yellow warning section at the top. We will then proceed to the router administration page, as shown below.
Enter your custom router password twice in the "Password" and "Confirmation" fields, then click the "Save" button at the bottom right corner to apply the change.
It is critical to record your custom router password in a secure location. If you lose or forget it, the only way to regain access to the router admin panel is to perform a hard reset. This will erase all custom configurations and return the device to its factory default settings.
SSH Access
SSH (Secure Shell) allows local networks to access the router's command-line interface (CLI). The Dropbear is a lightweight SSH server that manages SSH connections. You can configure the port number and set up keys for SSH access. For more information, see the SSH terminal guidance.
System Properties
From the top menu, navigate to "System > System." Then, we will go to the System Properties page.
Time Zone
Under the "General Settings" tab, we can set the router's timezone and time synchronization settings.
After connecting to the Internet, the router automatically syncs with the NTP time server. When the Internet is not activated, we can force-sync the time by clicking the "Sync with browser" button.
To ensure accurate execution of scheduled tasks, please select the correct time zone based on your city or GMT, then click the "Save & Apply" button in the bottom right corner to save your new settings.
Host Name
You can customize the "Hostname," which shows in the top-left corner. No internal space is allowed. This helps quickly identify the router device when deploying multiple routers at your work site.
Logging
Tap the second "Logging" tab. If we need to capture more system logs, we can enlarge the system log buffer size. However, please do not set the log buffer too large; using 64 or 128 kiB is suggested.
