Connection information

Later in the setup process you’ll need to configure the router to work with your network. A Setup Wizard is available to help you through this procedure. You can configure the router yourself using information that you can get from your computer or your ISP about your current Internet connection.

The next page includes blanks for you to fill in and refer to later. To get the needed information from your computer:

(Windows 98/Me) Open the Network control panel, select the TCP/IP entry, and click Properties.

(Windows 2000/XP) Open Local Area Network Connection and click Properties.

(Macintosh®) Open the TCP/IP (or Network) control panel.

Your ISP should have provided you with a summary sheet of all the information needed to connect your computer to the Internet. If you cannot locate the information, you’ll have to contact your ISP.

An ISP Guide is included with your router’s documentation, either as a printed card or on the Resource CD. The ISP Guide contains specific configuration guidelines for connecting to many popular ISPs.
