Front Panel Button and LEDs

Reset Button / WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) Button – Push and hold this

button for 3 seconds to activate WPS. The wireless LED will be blinking green rapidly when WPS is activated. Push and hold this button for 20 seconds and release to reset your router to its factory defaults. The LEDs will blink rapidly when the reset process is activated.

Wireless (Link/Activity) / WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) – This LED indicator is blinking green when the wireless is “On” and functioning properly on your router. This LED indicator will be blinking green rapidly while data is transmitted or received by your wireless clients or wireless network devices connected to your router. This LED indicator will also be blinking green rapidly when WPS is activated.

WAN (Link/Activity) – This LED indicator is solid green when your router WAN port is physically connected to the xDSL/Cable modem Ethernet port (also called network port) successfully with an Ethernet cable (also called network cable). The LED indicator will be blinking green while data is transmitted or received through the WAN port of your router.

LAN 1-4 (Link/Activity) – These LED indicators are solid green when the LAN ports are physically connected to your wired network devices successfully with an Ethernet cable (also called network cable). These LED indicators will be blinking green while data is transmitted or received through your router LAN ports.

Status - This LED indicator is blinking green when your router is ready and working successfully. If this LED indicator is solid green on or off, your router is not receiving power or not working properly.

Application Diagram

The router is installed in a main office location which is connected to the Internet. A desktop computer is connected to one of the four LAN ports of the router using an Ethernet cable (also called network cable) and a laptop is connected wirelessly using its integrated wireless adapter to connect to the router allowing these computers to access the Internet. The router is also configured as a Virtual Private Network (VPN) server to allow secure remote access (over the Internet) to work related files and media located at the main office to an employee working from an outside home office location.

Basic Router Setup

Creating a Home Network

What is a network?

A network is a group of computers or devices that can communicate with each other. A home network of more than one computer or device also typically includes Internet access, which requires a router.

A typical home network may include multiple computers, a media player/server, a printer, a modem, and a router. A large home network may also have a switch, additional routers, access points, and many Internet-capable media devices such as TVs, game consoles, and web cameras.

• Modem – Connects a computer or router to the Internet or ISP (Internet

Service Provider).

• Router – Connects your wireless and wired network devices to each other and

to the modem.

• Switch – Allows you to connect several wired network devices to your home

network. Your router has a built-in network switch (the LAN port 1-4). If you have more wired network devices than available Ethernet ports on your router, you will need an additional switch to add more wired connections.

How to set up a home network

1. For a network that includes Internet access, you’ll need:

• Computers/devices with an Ethernet port (also called network port) or wireless

networking capabilities

• A modem and Internet service to your home, provided by your ISP (modem

typically supplied by your ISP)

• A router to connect your computers and devices and also connects to the

modem.

2. Make sure that your modem is working. Your ISP can help you set up your modem and verify that it’s working correctly.

3. Set up your router. See “How to setup your router” below.

4. To connect additional wired computers or wired network devices to your network, see “Connect additional wired devices to your network” on page 12.

5. To set up wireless networking on your router, see “Wireless Networking and Security” on page 13.

How to setup your router

The easiest way and fastest way to follow the included Quick Installation Guide or continue to the next section “Router Installation” on page 6, and complete the remaining sections of “Router Installation”.
