Notes on Wireless Conguration:

If you have a PC connected to the router with a wired connection, we
recommend that you use it to congure your WBMR-G54. That said, you
can still congure your WBMR-G54 with a wireless connection if you have
no computer available with an Ethernet adaptor.

Consult your wireless client card or adapter’s documentation to conrm that
it’s correctly installed with all necessary drivers.

PPPoE/PPPoA

If you intend to congure your Modem Router to use PPPoE or PPPoA
for the Internet connection, you will need to contact your ISP provider for
login information and DNS primary and secondary addresses before you
congure the connection. The manual contains detailed instructions on the

steps involved.
