Before you begin, make sure

that you have the setup

information for your specific
type of Internet connection.

The installation technician from

your ISP should have left this
information with you after

installing your broadband

connection. If not, you can call
your ISP to request the settings.

B

Make sure that all of your

network’s hardware is powered

off, including the Router, PCs,

and cable or DSL modem.

C

Connect one end of an

Ethernet network cable to one
of the ports (labeled 1-4) on

the back of the Router (Figure

C), and the other end to an
Ethernet port on a PC.

These instructions will show you how

to configure the Router. You only

need to configure it once.

Enter

key. (Figure A)

B

A password request screen will

appear. Leave the

User Name

field empty, and enter the

default password,

admin

, in

lowercase letters in the

Password

field. (For added

security, you should later set a

new password, using the

Administration tab’s

Management

screen of the

Web-based Utility). Then click

the

OK

button.

Repeat step C to connect

additional PCs or other network
devices to the Router.

network cable from your cable

or DSL modem to the Internet

port on the Router ’s back

Connect the AC power

adapter to the Router ’s Power
port and the other end into an

electrical outlet. (Figure G)

H

Make sure the Power and

Internet LEDs on the front panel

light up green.

I

The Power LED will flash green

for a few seconds when the
Router goes through its self-

diagnostic test. This LED will stay

solidly lit when the self-test is
complete. If it does not stop

flashing, refer to “Appendix A:

Troubleshooting” of the User
Guide on the Setup CD-ROM.

J

Power on the PC you wish to

use to configure the Router.

Proceed to Step 2.

NOTE:

Make sure your PC’s Ethernet

adapter is set to obtain an IP address
automatically. For more information,
refer to Windows Help.

IMPORTANT:

Make sure you use

the power adapter that is supplied
with the Router. Use of a different
power adapter could damage the
Router.

There are two ways to configure the Router. Choose one of the following:

• Run the Setup Wizard CD-ROM - It is strongly recommended that you

use the Setup Wizard CD-ROM to install the Router. Insert the Setup

Wizard CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive, and follow the on-screen

instructions.

• Use this Quick Installation guide - If you wish, you can use the Router ’s

web-based utility to install the Router. Proceed to Step 1, and follow the

Quick Installation’s instructions.

Instructions for installing the Wireless-G Notebook Adapter are in Step 3.
