u

Basic Setup
Use Basic Setup for the settings required for connecting to the
Internet via a DSL or cable modem. This is described from page 51.
Security Setup
The Security Setup allows you to take precautions against unau-
thorised access to your router and LAN. For example, you can
assign a password and set up encryption for wireless transmis-
sions. This is described from page 59 on. For the protection of
your network we recommend that you carry out this setup.
Advanced Setup
Advanced Setup provides additional functions. For example, you
can back up and restore your configuration data, set up your
router as a virtual server for your network, and much more. These
configuration steps are optional and can be carried out at a later
stage. This is described from page 66 on.
