Back Panel
The diagram (fig1.0) below shows the broadband router’s back panel. The router’s
back panel is divided into three sections,
LAN
,
WAN
and
Reset
:
1) Local Area Network (LAN)
The 4 LAN ports are for you to connect to your LAN’s PCs, printer servers, hubs
and switches etc.
2) Wide Area Network (WAN)
The WAN port is for connecting to your xDSL or Cable modem and is linked to the
Internet.
3) Reset
The Reset button allows you to do one of two things.
1) If problem occurs with your router, press the router’s reset button with a pencil
tip (for less than 4 seconds) and the router will re-boot itself, keeping your
original configurations.
2)
If problem persists, or you experience extreme problems, or you forgot your
password, press the reset button for longer than 4 seconds, and the router will
reset itself to the factory default settings (
warning
: your original configurations
will be replaced with the factory default settings)
