Connecting the router to your network
If you purchased this router to share your high-speed Internet connection with
other computers, you must have either an Ethernet-based cable or DSL modem
with an established Internet account from an Internet Service Provider (ISP).
To connect the router to your network:
1
Turn off your cable or DSL modem (some devices may not have a power
switch and will require you to unplug the power adapter).
2
Connect the power adapter to the power connector on the back of the
router and then plug the other end of the power adapter into a power
outlet. The Power LED will turn on to indicate proper operation.
3
Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet jack located on the Cable/DSL
modem.
4
Turn on the Cable/DSL modem by turning on the unit or plugging in the
power adapter.
5
Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the WAN PORT on the back
of the router. The WAN LED will turn on to indicate that it is connected to a
broadband modem. If the WAN LED is not on, repeat steps 2 through 4.
6
Connect an Ethernet cable to LAN port 1 on the back of the router and to an
available Ethernet port on the network adapter of the computer you will
use to configure the router. The LED for LAN Port 1 will turn on to indicate a
proper connection.
Note
- The LAN ports on the router are Auto-MDI/MDIX,
so you can use either a straight-through or crossover Ethernet cable to the
LAN ports.
7
Restart your computer.
