2.Turn the power off on your modem. If there is no on/off switch, unplug the modem’s power adapter. Shut down your computer.
3.Unplug the Ethernet cable (that connects your computer to your modem) from your computer and place it into the Internet port on the router.
4.Plug an Ethernet cable into one of the LAN ports on the router. Plug the other end into the Ethernet port on your computer.
5.Turn on or plug in your modem. Wait for the modem to boot (about 30 seconds).
6.Plug the power adapter into the router and connect to an outlet or power strip. Wait about 30 seconds for the router to boot up.
7.Turn on your computer.
8.Verify that the Power LED on the router are lit. If the Power LED does not light up, make sure your computer, modem, and router are powered, on and verify that the cables connected correctly.
