Some features described in this manual may not be supported by your service provider or may not be available with your network account. For details of the services and accounts available, contact your service provider.
Plug-and-Play
Your router was factory-set for compatibility with a particular service provider. Thus, your router operates on radio channels and enables services specific to your network service provider. Once your router has been activated on your service provider’s network, you can connect to the Internet. After your router is activated, connect it to your computer using the Ethernet (RJ-45) cable or via WiFi. You are now ready to use the Internet.

2.1 Placement of your MV600
Place your MV600, the central connection point of your network, as close as possible to windows or in rooms at the outer side of your house. If you also use the Wi-Fi feature of the MV600, it should be placed near the center of your wireless network devices. To achieve the best wireless network coverage: Ensure that your MV600’s networking antennas are parallel to each other, and are
positioned vertically (toward the ceiling). If your MV600 itself is positioned vertically, point the antennas as much as possible in an upward direction. In multistory homes, place the MV600 on an upper floor.
Avoid placing your MV600 near devices that may emit radio “noise,” such as microwave
ovens. Dense objects can interfere with wireless communication
If your wireless signal seems weak in some areas, try to move the MV600 to another
location while observing the signal strength indicator

connector into the power port on the router (9). Plug the power supply into an empty power outlet.
4 Switch on the router (8). Look at the Power LED on top of the router and make sure the
lights are ON.
5 Wait for a few seconds while the router searches for network service. When the router
finds a suitable network, the Signal LED turns blue and will flash dependent upon the strength of the acquired signal. Refer to the Signal Strength LED description for more details.
6 Locate the Ethernet cable that is included with your router. Plug one end of this cable into
ANY Ethernet port on your router. Plug the other end of the cable into the networking port on your computer. Alternatively connect to the router through WiFi (see below).
