| Getting to know the Router | |
A |
|
|
|
The Back Panel |
| ||
The Router’s ports and the Reset |
| ||
button are located on the back | A | ||
panel of the Router. | |||
Internet This port connects to your cable or DSL modem.
These four ports connect to network |
| |
| devices, such as PCs, print servers, or |
|
| additional switches. |
|
Reset If the Router is having problems connecting |
| |
| to the Internet, press the Reset button for |
|
| just a second with a paper clip or a pencil |
|
| tip, which is similar to rebooting your PC. |
|
| If you are experiencing extreme problems |
|
| with the Router and have tried all other |
|
| troubleshooting measures, press and hold |
|
| in the Reset button for 30 seconds. This |
|
| will restore the factory defaults and clear |
|
| all of the Router’s settings, such as port |
|
| forwarding or a new password. |
|
Power This port is where you will connect the |
| |
| power adapter. |
|
B | The Front Panel |
|
The Router’s LEDs, which inform you |
| |
about network activities, are |
| |
located on the front panel. | B | |
|
| |
Power Green. This LED lights up when the Router is powered on and flashes when the Router is running a diagnostic test.
EthernetGreen. This LED shows when the Router is connected to a device through the corresponding port (1, 2, 3, or 4) and flashes when the Router is sending or receiving data over that port.
Internet Green. This LED lights up when the Router is connected to your cable or DSL modem.
2 Connect the Router
Now that you’re familiar with the |
|
Router, follow these instructions for |
|
quick installation. |
|
A Before you begin, make sure |
|
that all of your hardware is |
|
powered off, including the |
|
Router, PCs, hubs, switches, |
|
and cable or DSL modem. |
|
B Connect one end of an Ether- |
|
net network cable to one of the |
|
numbered ports on the back of |
|
the Router. Connect the other |
|
end to an Ethernet port on a | B |
network device, e.g., a PC, | |
print server, hub, or switch. |
|
Repeat this step to connect |
|
more PCs or other network |
|
devices to the Router. |
|
C Connect your cable or DSL | C |
modem’s Ethernet cable to the | |
Router’s Internet port. |
|
D Power on the cable or DSL |
|
modem. |
|
E Connect the included power |
|
adapter to the Router’s Power | E |
port, and then plug the power | |
adapter into an electrical out- |
|
let. |
|
The Power LED on the front |
|
panel will light up as soon as |
|
the power adapter is con- |
|
nected properly. |
|
|
|
3 Configure the Router
In Step 3, you will need the setup |
| ||
instructions provided by your Inter- |
| ||
net Service Provider (ISP). If you do |
| ||
not have this information, then con- |
| ||
tact your ISP before proceeding. |
| ||
The instructions from your ISP tell you |
| ||
how to set up your PC for Internet |
| ||
access. Because you are now using |
| ||
the Router to share Internet access |
| ||
among several computers, you will |
| ||
use the setup information to config- |
| ||
ure the Router instead of your PC. |
| ||
|
|
| |
NOTE:: Make sure your PC’s Ethernet |
|
| |
adapter is set to obtain an IP address |
|
| |
automatically. For more information, |
|
| |
refer to Windows Help. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
A Open your PC’s web browser. | A | ||
| Enter http://192.168.1.1 (the | ||
| Router’s default local IP |
| |
| address) in the web browser’s |
| |
| Address field. Then press the |
| |
| Enter key. |
| |
B | A screen will appear and ask | B | |
| you for a User Name and Pass- |
| |
| word. Leave the User Name |
| |
| field empty, and enter admin |
| |
| (the default) in the Password |
| |
| field. Then click the OK button. |
| |
C The Router’s |
| ||
| will appear with the Basic Setup |
| |
| screen showing. |
