System Requirements
Before starting, you must ensure the following:
•
You already have a cable or DSL broadband connection to the Internet with a suitable modem and that
this connection works properly. The modem must have an Ethernet port for connection to your Router.
•
You have a computer that has an Ethernet connection available and is already correctly configured for
communication with the Internet. Your computer must be able to connect to the Internet via the
modem, and must have a Web browser installed.
•
There are no other DHCP server devices on your local network that are responsible for allocating IP
addresses to your computers and other network-connected devices. Your Router will now perform this
function by default.
If one or more of these conditions are not met, refer to the comprehensive Router User Guide provided on
the accompanying CD-ROM for further guidance.
