The following sections describe the physical characteristics of your router.
3.1 Back Panel
The following illustration shows the Wireless Broadband Router back panel:
Power: The receptacle where you plug in the power adapter.
LAN Ports 1-4: These four ports connect the router to your LAN or home
network using Ethernet cables. This enables communication among clients,
such as PCs, on the network. The LAN ports support either 10-BASE-T or
100-BASE-T transmission speeds as well as straight-through and crossover
Ethernet cables. Any of these four ports can also serve as an uplink port to
other network devices, such as another router or switch, which allows you to

extend your network.
WAN: Connect your modem to your router using this port with your supplied
Ethernet cable. This is the only port you can use for this procedure. This enables
your router to access the Internet. The port supports 10/100 Mbps as well as
straight-through and crossover Ethernet cables.
Reset button: Resets your router or resets the router to the default login

Chapter 4 hardware connection
Begin by finding a good place to set up your wireless broadband. Some things
to consider:
z Keep the access point as central in your work area as possible. Signal
strength and speed fall off with distance.
z Higher is often better. For instance, set it up on the top shelf of a bookcase
rather than the bottom one, if possible.

5.2 Additional Settings for Wireless Client
If you chose to access the router via a wireless client, also verify the following:
Step 1: Make sure your PC is equipped with 802.11g or 802.11b wireless
adapter and has appropriate WLAN card driver/utility and TCP/IP installed.
Step 2: Set the wireless adapter to use appropriate TCP/IP settings as
described in previou s section.
Step 3: Launch the wireless adapter’s provided utility and verify that your
wireless client is configured with these settings:
z Operation Mode: Infrastructure
z SSID: default
z Authentication: Disabled
z Encryption: Off
z Radio Ban d: 802.11B/ G
If you only finished the wireless settings and didn’t configure the wireless
adapter’s TCP/IP settings, even your link status indicates a successful
connection with the AP. This connection applies to the “physical” network layer
only. Your wireless adapter cannot communicate with the AP. Make sure to set
the TCP/IP properties as described in this previous section.
