1)Local Area Network (LAN)

The router’s four LAN ports are what you will use to connect your PCs, print servers, switches, etc.

2)Wide Area Network (WAN)

The WAN ports are the segments that connect to your xDSL or Cable modems and are linked to the Internet.

3)Reset

The Reset button allows you to do one of two things:

i.If problems occur with your router, press the router’s reset button with a narrow pen tip (for less than four seconds) and the router will re-boot itself, keeping your original configurations.

ii.If problems persist or become serious, or if you forget your password, press the reset button for longer than four seconds and the router will reset itself to the factory default settings. Warning: Your original configurations will be replaced with the factory default settings.
