| Figure |
Internet | This Internet port connects to your cable or DSL modem. |
These eight Ethernet ports connect to network devices, such as PCs, print servers, or | |
| additional switches. |
Reset Button | The Reset button can be used in one of two ways: |
| If the Router is having problems connecting to the Internet, press the Reset button for just a |
| second with a paper clip or a pencil tip. This is similar to pressing the Reset button on your PC |
| to reboot it. |
| If you are experiencing extreme problems with the Router and have tried all other |
| troubleshooting measures, press and hold in the Reset button for 30 seconds. This will restore |
| the factory defaults and clear all of the Router’s settings, such as port forwarding or a new |
| password. |
Power | The Power port is where you will connect the power adapter. |
