Before you begin, make sure
that you have the setup
information for your specific
type of Internet connection.
The installation technician from
your ISP should have left this
information with you after
installing your broadband
connection. If not, you can call
your ISP to request the settings.
B
Make sure that all of your
network’s hardware is powered
off, including the Router, PCs,
and cable or DSL modem.
C
Connect one end of an
Ethernet network cable to one
of the ports (labeled 1-4) on
the back of the Router (Figure
C), and the other end to an
Ethernet port on a PC.

These instructions will show you how
to configure the Router. You only
need to configure it once.
A
Open your web browser. Enter
http://192.168.1.1
in its
Address
field. Press the
Enter
key. (Figure A)
B
A password request screen will
appear. Leave the
User Name
field empty, and enter the
default password,
admin
, in
lowercase letters in the
Password
field. (For added
security, you should later set a
new password, using the
Administration tab’s
Management
screen of the
Web-based Utility). Then click
the
OK
button.

D
Repeat step C to connect
additional PCs or other network
devices to the Router.
E
Connect a different Ethernet
network cable from your cable
or DSL modem to the Internet
port on the Router’s back
panel. This is the only port that
will work for your modem
connection. (Figure E)
F
Power on the cable or DSL
modem.
G
Connect the AC power
adapter to the Router’s Power
port and the other end into an
electrical outlet. (Figure G)
H
Make sure the Power and
Internet LEDs on the front panel
light up green.
I
The Power LED will flash green
for a few seconds when the
Router goes through its self-
diagnostic test. This LED will stay
solidly lit when the self-test is
complete. If it does not stop
flashing, refer to “Appendix A:
Troubleshooting” of the User
Guide on the Setup CD-ROM.
J
Power on the PC you wish to
use to configure the Router.
Proceed to Step 2.
NOTE:
Make sure your PC’s Ethernet
adapter is set to obtain an IP address
automatically. For more information,
refer to Windows Help.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure you use
the power adapter that is supplied
with the Router. Use of a different
power adapter could damage the
Router.
There are two ways to configure the Router. Choose one of the following:
• Run the Setup Wizard CD-ROM - It is strongly recommended that you
use the Setup Wizard CD-ROM to install the Router. Insert the Setup
Wizard CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive, and follow the on-screen
instructions.
•Use this Quick Installation guide - If you wish, you can use the Router’s
web-based utility to install the Router. Proceed to Step 1, and follow the
Quick Installation’s instructions.
Instructions for installing the Wireless-G Notebook Adapter are in Step 3.
