Open a web browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox. Enter the internal IP address of your router in the address bar of your browser.
In the picture above the address bar has http://www.google.com in it. Just replace all of that with the internal IP address of your Homeline HLA-BR1000 router. By default the IP address should be set to 192.168.123.254.
