If you have a second phone

line, repeat step C to connect

a telephone or fax machine to

the Router ’s PHONE 2 port.

E

Connect your cable or DSL

modem’s Ethernet cable to

the Router ’s Internet port. (If

your modem only provides a

USB output, then you will need

to upgrade your modem.)

F

Power on the cable or DSL

modem.

G

Connect the included power

adapter to the Router ’s Power

port, and then plug the power

adapter into an electrical

outlet.

The Power LED on the front

panel will light up as soon as

the power adapter is

connected properly.

H

Power on the PC you wish to

use to configure the Router.

In Step 2, you will need the setup

instructions provided by your Internet

Service Provider (ISP). If you do not

have this information, then contact

your ISP before proceeding.

The instructions from your ISP tell you

how to set up your PC for Internet

access. Because you are now using

the Router to share Internet access

among several computers, you will

use the setup information to

configure the Router instead of

your PC.

A

Open your PC’s web browser.

Enter

http://192.168.15.1

(the

Router ’s default local IP

address) in the web browser ’s

Address

field. Then press the

Enter

key.

B

A screen will appear and ask

you for a User Name and

Password. Enter

admin

(the

default) in the

User Name

and

Password

fields. (Later you

should set a new password

using the Administration tab’s

Management

screen. This will

help secure access to the

Web-based Utility.)

Then click the

OK

button.

A

Make sure that all of your

hardware is powered off,

including the Router, PCs, and

cable or DSL modem.

B

Connect one end of an

Ethernet network cable to one

of the numbered ports on the

back of the Router. Connect

the other end to an Ethernet

port on a network device, e.g.,

a PC, print server, or switch.

Repeat this step to connect

more PCs or other network

devices to the Router.

C

If necessary, disconnect the

telephone cable from the

telephone wall jack and

connect that end to the

telephone jack adapter. Then

connect the adapter to the

Router ’s PHONE 1 port.

NOTE:

Make sure your PC’s

Ethernet adapter is set to

obtain

an IP address automatically

. For

more information, refer to
Windows Help.

follow the on-screen instructions.

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

Web-based Utility. Proceed to Step 1 of this Quick Installation.
