the Router

The instructions that follow parallel the steps contained in the Intstallation Buddy, which provides a visual guide to setting up the Router. It is recommended that the user run the Installation Buddy first, before attempting any other procedures.

To set up the Router, the user must connect it to both a cable or DSL modem and a computer. After connecting this first computer, other computers can be added to the network via USB, Ethernet, or wirelessly (see “Connecting Additional Computers on page 21).

Connecting a Computer to the Router

Connecting a computer to the Router for setup involves three basic steps: initial setup and plugging in the Router’s Power Cord, connecting the Router to the cable/DSL modem, and connecting the Router to the computer.
