Manual Setup

There are two steps to setting up your router:

1.Connect the router to the ADSL or cable modem, and connect a computer to the router (see “Connecting Your Router”).

Your computer has to be set to automatically get its TCP/IP network settings from the router through DHCP. This is usually the case. If you are unsure about this, use the wizard on the CD, which automatically takes care of this for you, or refer to the documentation for your computer.

2.Configure the router to use your Internet service (see “Accessing the Wireless Router after Installation” on page 10).

1.Connect the router, the computer, and the modem.

a.Turn off your computer.

b.Turn off and unplug the cable or ADSL broadband modem.
