Basic Functions

Note: If you are using a cable or DSL modem and are experiencing problems connecting to the Internet, follow these steps:

1.Power off your cable or DSL modem, PC, and the Router.

2.Power on your modem and wait a few minutes until the modem has established a connection with your ISP.

3.Power on the Router.

4.Power on your PC and attempt to connect to the Internet. For most users, the Router's default values should be satisfactory. Some users may need to enter additional information in order to connect to the Internet through their ISP or broadband (cable or DSL) carrier. For example, some cable providers require a specific MAC address for connection to the Internet. To learn more about this, click the Advanced tab and then the MAC Address Clone tab.
