Install the Router
After unpacking the box and locating the configuration
information, you’re ready to install the router. You may also
configure the router from a wireless computer. If so, set the
computer’s Wireless Network Name (SSID) to
Wireless and
disable the Security Encryption (WEP).
Note: You do not have to power down any equipment to
do this, but if you need to move your computers
(perhaps to get to ports in the back), you may want to
shut down the computers before moving them around.
1. Locate the Ethernet cable currently going from the DSL
or cable modem to the computer that you use to access
the Internet. See Cable A in the illustration.
Note: You must use this cable to connect the DSL or cable modem to your router
since this may be a special cable even though it looks like other LAN cables.
2. Remove this cable from the computer and insert that end into the Internet port
on the router. (See the label on the bottom of the router to locate the Internet port.)
3. Skip this step if you are using a wireless computer. Use the Ethernet patch cable to
connect the computer to one of the four numbered Ethernet ports on the router. See
Cable B in the illustration.
4. Connect the power adapter’s cord into the back of the router and then plug the adapter
into a power source such as a wall socket or power strip.
Note: If you want to connect other computers to the router, don’t connect them
now. Do that after you know that the modem/router setup works with one computer.
Check the setup
• After supplying power to the router, the Test light
turns on for a few seconds and then goes off.
Note: If the Test light stays on or blinks, go to Troubleshooting on page 13.
• The Power , Internet and Wireless lights should be lit.
• If a computer is connected and powered up the number
of the connected port should be lit and may blink to
show network activity.
Note: If the connection is a 100 Mbps connection, the number is green. If it is a 10
Mbps connection, the number is yellow. If either the Power , Internet , or port
number light isn’t lit, go to Troubleshooting on page 13.
