Confirm that you received all the items listed in the previous section, “Package Contents”; then position
the SpeedStream router at any convenient location in your office or home. No special wiring or cooling
requirements are needed. You should, however, comply with the safety guidelines specified in Chapter 1,
“Introduction.”
Basic Installation Procedure
1. Install line filters (if provided).
2. Connect the cables.
3. Power up the modem and verify port status.
4. Configure network settings on your computer.
5. Configure the router via the Web interface.
6. Reboot the computer if prompted.
Another important step is to record the current router configuration in the worksheets provided in
Appendix A. Although the router is already configured for your particular network, it is important to
recordthisconfigurationincaseitmustberestoredforanyreason.
Installing Line Filters
Because DSL may shares the same physical line as your telephone, it may be necessary to separate
the two signals so they do not interfere with each other. This is accomplished through line filters,
which prevent DSL traffic from disrupting the voice signal on the phone line, and vice versa. Follow
the procedure below to install line filters on any device (phones, fax machines, caller ID boxes) that
shares the same phone number as the DSL line. (Note: This section may not apply to you. Consult
your provider if you are unsure.)
Two types of line filters may be used. The wall mount filter is installed onto the telephone wall plate
for use with wall-mounted telephones. The in-line filter is connected to the telephone wall plate and
the telephone cord is connected into the filter. A two-to-one adapter is available and may be used if
more than one device needs to be connected to the telephone wall plate.
In-Line Filter
For each device that shares the DSL phone
number:
1. Unplug the device’s cord from the phone
jack.
2. Plug the filter into the phone jack.
3. Plug the phone cord (or other device cord)
into the filter.

SpeedStream Dual USB/Ethernet Router User’s Guide

Model 5667
Wall-Mount Filter
For a wall-mounted phone, install a wall mount
filter:
1. Remove the phone.
2. Connect the wall mount filter to the wall
plate.
3. Reconnect the phone.
Two-to-One Adapter
If your DSL router and another device will
share the same phone jack, install a two-to-one
adapter:
1. Plug the two-to-one adapter into the phone
jack.
2. Plug a line filter into one of the sockets of
the two-to-one adapter. The other socket
will be used to connect the DSL cable.
3. Plug the telephone (or other device) cord
into the line filter.
Connecting the Cables
The SpeedStream router may be connected to either an existing USB port or an Ethernet port. Both
connection methods are detailed in this section.
If you choose to attach the SpeedStream modem via the Ethernet Interface, you will need to install an
Ethernet adapter if your computer does not already have one installed. Refer to your Ethernet adapter
manufacturer’s documentation for complete installation instructions.

Model 5667
Determine the cable to use for your physical connection, and then follow the instructions for the
appropriate installation method. The following illustration shows the connectors on the rear panel of
the SpeedStream router.
USB Installation Method
The router power button should be in the OFF (out) position before proceeding:
1. Connect the USB cable to the USB port at the rear of the router.
2. Connect the other end to the USB port on your computer.
3. Plug the phone cable into the DSL port on the router.
4. Plug the other end of the cable into the phone jack.
Note:
If using the two-to-one adapter, plug the cable into the open socket, that should be already be
connected to the phone jack.
3
SpeedStream Dual USB/Ethernet Router User’s Guide
1
Model 5667
5. Plug the power adapter into the power outlet and router.
6. Power on the computer; then power on the router.
Note:
If connecting via USB, the Plug-and-Play process for installing the USB drivers begins as
soon as you turn on your computer and the router device is discovered. Insert the
SpeedStream CD-ROM and follow the instructions on the screens to install the drivers.
Ethernet Installation Method
1. Connect the Ethernet straight through cable to the Ethernet port on the router.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on your computer.
3. Plug the phone cable into the DSL port on the router.
4. Plug the other end of the phone cable into the phone jack.
Note:
If using a two-to-one adapter, plug the cable into the open socket.
5. Plug the power adapter onto the power outlet and router.
6. Power on the computer; then power on the router.
There is no router software installation required when using the Ethernet connection method.
Refer to your Internet Service Provider’s instructions for installing their software and/or
connecting to the Internet.
You are now ready to configure the TCP/IP settings as detailed in the next chapter.

Chapter 3
Configuring Network Settings
To access the Internet through the SpeedStream Dual USB/Ethernet Router, the TCP/IP protocol must be
installed on your computer and configured with the same IP address and subnet as the router. If TCP/IP is
not already installed on your computer, refer to your system documentation or online help for
instructions.
The default network settings for this SpeedStream router are:
IP Address: 192.168.254.254
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
User Name: admin
Password: admin
You can change these settings to comply with your network requirements; however, you must first
configure at least one computer to access the router’s Web interface (see Chapter 4, “Configuring the
Router”). The Web interface can be used in conjunction with either the USB or Ethernet connection
method.
