Ethernet Installation Method

To connect the SpeedStream router via the Ethernet interface, your computer must have an Ethernet adapter (network interface card, or “NIC”) installed. If your computer does not have this adapter, you will need to install it before proceeding further. Refer to the Ethernet adapter documentation for complete installation instructions.

1.Make sure the router is not plugged in to the electrical outlet.

2.Connect the Ethernet straight-through cable to the Ethernet port on the router.

3.Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on your computer.

4.Plug the telephone cable into the DSL port on the router.

5.Plug the other end of the telephone cable into the telephone jack.

Note If using a two-to-one adapter, plug the cable into the open socket.

6.Plug the power adapter into the router and the electrical outlet.

When using the Ethernet installation method, you do not have to install any software. Refer to your Internet Service Provider’s instructions for installing their software and/or connecting to the Internet.

You can now configure the TCP/IP settings as detailed in the next chapter.
