Setting Up the Router with the Easy Install Wizard
The following section describes how to set up the Router using
the Easy Install Wizard software included in the CD. This software
requires that your PC directly connected to your DSL or cable modem
is running Windows 98SE, Me, 2000, XP, Mac OS 9.x, or Mac OS X
and that your cable or DSL modem Internet connection is
active and
working
at the time of installation.
If you do not have a CD-ROM drive or one of the required operating
systems, please continue to the “Alternate Setup Method” section of
this manual to install the Router.
Modem Requirements
Your cable or DSL modem must be equipped with an RJ45 Ethernet
port. Many modems have both an RJ45 Ethernet port and a USB
connection. If you have a modem with both Ethernet and USB, and
are using the USB connection at this time, you will be instructed to
use the RJ45 Ethernet port during the installation procedure. If your
modem has only a USB port, you can request a different type of
modem from your ISP, or you can, in some cases, purchase a modem
that has an RJ45 Ethernet port on it.
