To connect your router to a modem and power it on:
1. If you own a modem, unplug the power from your modem, remove and reinsert the
modem's backup battery if it uses one, and then plug the modem back in.
2. Use the Ethernet cable that came with your router to connect an Ethernet port on
the modem to the yellow Internet port on the router.
Note: If your Internet connection does not require a modem, connect your main
Ethernet cable to the yellow Internet port on the router.
3. Connect the power adapter to your router and plug the power adapter into a power
outlet.
4. If the Power LED does not automatically light, press the Power On/Off button on
the rear panel of the router.
The router’s Power LED lights solid white when the router is ready.
