1 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 Ethernet network cable to one of the numbered ports on the back 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.

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

C Connect your cable or DSL modem’s Ethernet cable to the Router’s Internet port. If using the DMZ/Internet port, connect a second cable to it, and the other end to the network device , e.g., modem or public server. See Figure C.

D Power on the cable or DSL modem and the other network device if using one.

E Connect the included AC power cable to the Router’s Power port on the side 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 E the power adapter is con-

nected properly.

2 Configure the Router

In Step 2, you will need the setup

 

instructions provided by your Inter-

 

net Service Provider (ISP). If you do

 

not have this information, then con-

 

tact your ISP before proceeding.

 

The instructions from your ISP tell you

 

how to set up your PC for Internet

 

access. Because you are now using

 

the Router to share Internet access

 

among several computers, you will

 

use the setup information to config-

 

ure the Router instead of your PC.

 

 

 

 

NOTE:: Make sure your PC’s Ethernet

 

 

adapter is set to obtain an IP address

 

 

automatically. For more information,

 

 

refer to Windows Help.
