If you have two or more clients, you can use Ethernet for up to four
devices and wireless for the others.
Connecting the Router
1. Unplug the power to turn off the modem.
2. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable (included) to the modem, and
the other end to the Internet port on the router.
3. Reconnect the plug on the modem to turn the modem back on. Wait
approximately 2 minutes to allow the modem to fully power up.
4. Connect the power adapter (included) to the power connector on
the back of the router, and then connect the power adapter to an
available AC outlet. Wait until the light on the front panel of the
router turns blue and begins to pulse.
5. To manage the setup of the router, you can use a second Ethernet
cable (not provided) to connect a computer to an available LAN port
on the router, or you can connect wirelessly by using the preset
wireless security settings printed on the security label located on the
back of the router.
6. Open a browser on the computer to access the management
interface of the router. If the webpage does not display correctly, try
another browser. See
Accessing the Configuration Interface
(page 15)
for more information.
Configuring the Wireless Connection
The router ships with a secure Wi-Fi network name (SSID) that is unique
for every device. By default, the router is set to the most current
wireless security setting, WPA2, to provide maximum protection for
Wi-Fi devices connected to the router. Wi-Fi network information is
located on the label on the back of the router. You can sign in to the
router and configure additional wireless settings.
See
Configuring the Wireless Network
(page 16) for complete
instructions on configuring the wireless connection.
