the following procedure to configure the SpeedStream router to negotiate the PPPoE logon to your service provider’s network.

IP addresses
Requirements:
Broadband Modem
PC(s) with the TCP/IP protocol installed
Cat 5 Ethernet cables with RJ-45 connectors
If your Internet Service Provider assigns your IP address dynamically, your PC should already be configured
properly for the SpeedStream 2614 to act as a plug-and-play device and does not require additional
configuration.

guide. Remember to restart each PC when finished.
2. Start your web browser. In the Address box, enter the following: HTTP://192.168.254.254
3. Press Enter. You will be prompted for a Password—The default Password is admin.
4. When the password is entered correctly, you will see the SpeedStream Router Status screen.
5. Select Simple Setup from the left-side menu and follow the prompts to change the password, set
the Time Zone and choose the appropriate Internet connection type. For detailed procedures
covering the most common broadband Internet access scenarios, refer to the procedures
provided on the back side of this guide.
If additional configuration is desired, select the Advanced Setuplink from the left-side menu to configure
items such as: firewall parameters, DMZ host, virtual servers and special applications support for multi-
player online games. The most common scenarios are described on the back of this guide.
Printer Port Driver Installation:
1. Ensure that the printer is connected to the parallel port on the router and both the printer and
router are powered on.
2. Insert the supplied CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. If the setup program does not start
automatically, run SETUP from the root folder on the CD-ROM.
