Hardware Installation
1. Make sure that all of your hardware is powered off, including the broadband modem and PCs.
2. Connect a USB cable to the Router’s USB port. Then, connect the other end of the USB cable to the USB hard
disk. (If you have a USB flash drive, you can connect it directly to the Router.)
3. Connect your broadband modem’s Ethernet cable to the Router’s Internet port.
4. Connect one end of an Ethernet network cable to one of the numbered ports on the back of the Router.
Connect the other end to an Ethernet port on a network device, e.g., a PC, print server, or switch.
Repeat this step to connect more PCs or other network devices to the Router.
5. Power on the broadband modem.
6. Connect the included power adapter to the Router’s Power port, and then plug the power adapter into an
electrical outlet. The Power LED on the front panel will light up when the adapter is connected properly.
7. Power on your PC(s).
8. Locate an optimum location for the Router. The best place for the Router is usually at the center of your
wireless network, with line of sight to all of your wireless devices.
