If still disconnected, click Setup at the top of the page and go through the Basic setup to configure the router for your connection to the Internet. Make the appropriate selections for DSL/Cable, Ethernet/USB and Username/Password. Click Save and Restart to save the configuration. (It will take 1 minute for the router to restart.) Recheck the Connection Status. When the status is “Connected” web browsing is possible.
If after following the above steps, the Status page still indicates “Disconnected”, unplug the power cable to your broadband modem, and leave it disconnected for 10 minutes. At the end of that time reconnect the power to it, and when the modem has fully restarted, power cycle the router to restart it. (It will take 1 minute for the router to restart.) Recheck the Connection Status. When the Connection line under the WAN section near the top of the page reads “Connected”, the router has successfully connected to the Internet.
Test the Internet connection by opening a favorite Web page.
LAN Light
If the LAN light on the Router does not come on, it could be caused a bad connec- tion, a disabled Ethernet card, or by a static speed setting on your Ethernet card.
