Connect the Router

A Before you begin, make sure

that all of your hardware is
powered off, including the
Router, PCs, hubs, switches,
and cable or DSL modem.

B Connect one end of an Ether-

net network cable to one of
the numbered ports on the
front of the Router (see Figure
B). Connect the other end to
an Ethernet port on a network
device, e.g., a PC, print server,
hub, or switch.

E

Connect the included AC
power cable to the Router’s
Power port on the back of the
Router, as shown in Figure E,
and then plug the other end of
the power cable into an elec­trical outlet.

The System LED on the front
panel will light up as soon as
the power adapter is con­nected properly.

2

Configuring the Router requires the
setup instructions provided by your
Internet Service Provider (ISP). If you
do not have this information, con­tact your ISP before proceeding.

Your ISP determines how your PC is
set up for Internet access. Because
you are now using the Router to

E

share Internet access among sev­eral computers, you will use the
setup information to configure the
Router instead of your PC.

A Open your PC’s web browser.

B

Repeat this step to connect
more PCs or other network
devices to the Router.

Configure the Router

Enter http://192.168.1.1 (the
Router’s default local IP
address) in the web browser ’s
Address field and press the
Enter key.

NOTE:: Make sure your PC’s
Ethernet adapter is set to obtain
an IP address automatically. For
more information, refer to Win­dows Help.

menu, select how many WAN ports
you want to use. The default is 2,
and the maximum number is 7. You
can also change the number of
WAN ports using the Port Setup page
