4.Connect the power-supply cable to the Power port on the rear of the Router, then plug the supplied AC power cable into a power outlet.

The Power LED will illuminate green as soon as the power adapter is connected.

The Diag LED will illuminate red for a few seconds while the Router goes through its internal diagnostic test. The LED will turn off when the self-test is complete.

Note: Some ISPs—most notably some cable providers—configure their networks so that you do not have to enter a full Internet address into your web browser or e-mail application to reach your home page or receive your e-mail. If your Internet home page address is something very simple, such as “www”, rather than

“www.linksys.com”, or your e-mail server’s address is something similar to “e- mail” or “pop3”, rather than “pop.mail.linksys.com”, you won’t be able to prop- erly configure your Cable/DSL & Voice Router until you determine the actual Internet addresses of your Web and e-mail connections.

You must obtain this information prior to connecting the Router to your network. You can obtain this information by contacting your ISP, or you can turn to page 36 to learn how to ping for an IP address.

5.Power on the Cable or DSL modem.

6.Press the Reset button on the front of the router. Hold the button in for three seconds, or until the Diag LED illuminates red. This restores the router’s default settings.

7.Connect a Standard Phone Cord to the RJ-11 Port on the Back of the Router. Connect the other end of the cord to your standard telephone. You will now be able to access the Voice Over IP features from this tele- phone.

The Hardware Installation is complete. Continue to the next page to con- figure your PCs and Router.
