Installation
This section will walk you through the installation process. Placement of the router is very important. Do not place the router in an enclosed
area such as a closet, cabinet, attic, or garage.
Note
: This installation section is written for users who are setting up their home Internet service with the DWR-956M FIBRE / LTE WI-FI
AC1200 DUAL BAND ROUTER with VOIP for the first time. If you are replacing an existing modem and/or router, you may need to modify these
steps.
Before you begin
• Make sure to have your Fibre service information provided by your Internet Service Provider handy. This information is likely to include your
Fibre account's Username and Password. Your ISP may also supply you with additional WAN configuration settings which are necessary to
establish a connection. This information may include the connection type (DHCP IP, Static IP, PPPoE, or PPPoA) and/or ATM PVC details.
• If you are connecting a considerable amount of networking equipment, it may be a good idea to take the time to label each cable or take a
picture of your existing setup before making any changes.
• We suggest setting up your DWR-956M from a single device and verifying that it is connected to the Internet before connecting additional
devices.
