Installation and Connection
PC with Wi-Fi Adapter
1. Connect the power cord to the power connector port on the back panel of the router, then
plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet or power strip.
2. Make sure that your Wi-Fi adapter is on. As a rule, modern notebooks with built-in wireless
NICs are equipped with a button or switch that turns on/off the wireless adapter (refer to
your PC documents). If your PC is equipped with a pluggable wireless NIC, install the
software provided with your Wi-Fi adapter.
Then make sure that your Wi-Fi adapter is configured to obtain an IP address automatically (as
DHCP client).
