How the Internet Connection Works
Your modem router is now configured to provide Internet access for your network. Your modem
router automatically connects to the Internet when one of your computers requires access. It is not
necessary to run a dialer or login application such as dial-up networking or Enternet to connect,
log in, or disconnect. The modem router performs these functions automatically as needed.
To access the Internet from any computer connected to your modem router, launch an Internet
browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. You should see the modem router’s Internet LED
blink, indicating communication to the ISP. The browser should begin to display a Web page.
