Connecting and Configuring the Router
Connecting and Configuring the Router
Alternate Setup Method
The following section describes how to set up the Router through an
Internet browser. The setup method requires that your PC directly
connected to your DSL or cable modem Internet connection is
active
and working
at the time of installation.
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.
