Now that you’re familiar with the
Router, follow these instructions for
quick installation.
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. 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.
D
Power on the cable or DSL
modem.
E
Connect the included power
adapter to the Router’s Power
port, and then plug the power
adapter into an electrical outlet.
The Power LED on the front
panel will light up as soon as
the power adapter is connected properly.
Power on the Router, PCs, hubs,
and switches.

Getting to know the Router
In Step 3, you will need the setup
instructions provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). If you do
not have this information, then contact 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 configure the Router instead of your PC.
A Open your PC’s web browser.
Enter http://192.168.1.1 (the
Router’s default local IP
address) in the web browser’s
Address field. Then press the
Enter key.
B A screen will appea r and ask
you for a User Name and Password. Leave the User Name
field empty, and enter admin
(the default) in the Passwor d
field. Then click the OK button.
C The Router’s Web-based Utility
will appear with the Basic Setup
screen showing.
