Chapter 2: Connecting the Router

Before You Start

Before plugging everything together, it’s always a good idea to have everything you’ll need to get the Router up and running. Depending upon how you config- ure the Router in Chapter 4: Configuring the Router, you may need some of the following values from your ISP:

When connecting through a Static IP connection, be sure to have 1) Your broadband-configured PC’s fixed Internet IP Address, 2) Your broadband- configured PC’s Computer Name and Workgroup Name, 3) Your Subnet Mask, 4) Your Default Gateway, and 5) Your Primary DNS IP address.

When connecting through a PPPoE connection, be sure to have 1) Your PPPoE User Name and 2) Your PPPoE Password.

The installation technician from your ISP should have left this information with you after installing your broadband connection. If not, you can call your ISP to request the data.

Once you have the above values, you can begin the Router’s installation and setup.

Connecting Your Hardware Together and Booting Up

Once you are sure that you have the above values on hand, you can begin the Installation and Setup of the Router.

1.Power everything down, including your PCs, your cable or DSL modem and the Router.

2.Connect an Ethernet cable from one of

your PC’s Ethernet ports to one of the Router’s LAN ports (as shown in Figure 2- 1). Do the same with all the PCs you wish to connect to the Router. (LAN Port 4 will become inactive if you use the Uplink port.)
