2. Connecting the Router
Note: Prior to connecting the router, be sure to power off your computer, DSL/Cable modem, and the router. You should setup the router with a wired connection first before attempting to setup any wireless connection.
Step 1 Connect one end of a network cable to the WAN port of the router and connect the other end of the cable to the DSL/Cable modem.
Step 2 With another network cable, connect one end of the cable to your computer’s network card and connect the other end to one of the LAN (Ethernet) ports of the router.
Step 3 Power on the DSL/Cable modem and wait for the lights on the modem to settle down.
Step 4 Power on the router by connecting one end of the supplied power adapter to the power jack of the router and connecting the other end to an electrical outlet.
Step 5 Power on your computer.
Step 6 Make sure the WAN, WLAN, and the LAN port that the computer is connected to are lit. If not, try the above steps again.
