Chapter 4: Connecting the Wireless-G Home Router

Overview

This chapter includes two sets of instructions. If the Wireless-G Home Router will be the only router in your network, follow the instructions in “Hardware Installation for Connection to Your Broadband Modem.” If you want to install the Wireless-G Home Router behind another router in your network, then follow the instructions in “Hardware Installation for Connection to Another Router.”

Hardware Installation for Connection to Your Broadband Modem

1.Power down your network devices.

2.Locate an optimum location for the Router. The best place for the Router is usually at the center of your wireless network, with line of sight to all of your mobile stations.

3.Fix the direction of the antenna. Try to place the Router in a position that will best cover your wireless network. Normally, the higher you place the antenna, the better the performance will be.

4.Connect a standard Ethernet network cable to the Router’s Internet port. Then, connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to your cable or DSL broadband modem.
