Page 2

Additional Requirements:

Desktop or Laptop PC with Wired or Wireless Ethernet adapter.

DSL or Cable Modem with internet service.

Web browser (I.E. or Netscape versions 4.5 or greater).

***WARNING*** Your Router/Repeater kit comes with settings preconfigured for easy setup. This includes WDS (Wireless Distribution System) which provides repeating functionality. Pressing the recessed “INIT” button on the back of your router or repeater will erase the preconfigured settings and require you to manually

reconfigure your devices.

***IMPORTANT*** It is strongly recommended that you backup your preconfigured settings prior to installation. See section “Backing up and Restoring your Configuration” at the end of this setup guide.

NOTE: If you plan on intentionally changing preconfigured settings (i.e. you plan on using the repeater as a stand-alone access point), or you inadvertently re-initialize your devices and need to reconfigure, refer to the User Manual on CD for that particular device.
