Manual Setup

There are two steps to setting up your wireless router:

1. Connect the router to the ADSL or cable modem, and connect a computer to the 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.
