Step 2 - Connecting Cables to the AirStation
Depending on the type of broadband internet service you are subscribed
to, different types of information may be needed to complete the setup.
Acquiring this information in advance will make the setup of your AirStation
router simple and quick. A quick call to your service provider’s customer
or technical support number will provide you with the needed information if
you are unsure. If you are connecting to the internet via DSL service, then
PPPoE information will most likely be required from your ISP.

used to configure the AirStation router.
2.
Plug the cable or DSL’s LAN Ethernet cable into the AirStation’s WAN
port. Initially, you may need to unplug this cable from your computer,
hub or other router.

plug the other end into your computer’s Ethernet adapter’s (NIC)
port. If you plan to initially configure the AirStation wirelessly (not
