Shouldn't need software for most Routers. You can normally access them by plugging into one of the ports and accessing via a web browser with an IP http://192.168.2.1 or 192.168.1.1 - may have to look up the model to find out login and password.
There are no issues with this router I bought it hooked it up and befor I had a chance to hook up with my laptop my son dumped pepsi all over my laptop and killed it...... I unhooked it put it up and it was packed away for about a year or so then I got a new laptop and a new router cause I couldn't find this one lol so it's all good....
