Sprint Nextel MAX-206M2 manual Connect a Router optional

Connect a Router (optional)

Once you have set up your XOHM Modem and confirmed your Web connection, you can set up your router as needed.

1.Consult your router’s documentation for setup details.

2.Disconnect the Ethernet cable from your computer and connect it to the router’s Internet port. (It will go directly from the XOHM Modem’s LAN 1 port to the router.)

Note

Maintain a minimum distance of 1 foot between the XOHM Modem and your Wi-Fi router to avoid signal interference.

3.Connect an Ethernet cable from the router to your computer.

4.Make sure the modem’s LAN 1 indicator is illuminated and test connectivity by launching the Web browser. If you are having difficulties, double-check your router’s settings.

Tip

For added security, change your modem password after setting up your router. See “Access the Modem Configuration Interface” on page 28 for more information.
