Detailed instructions on configuring your wireless devices for TCP/IP networking are provided in the next chapter. However, if you already have a functioning wireless network and you wish to use a wireless PC to initially configure the router, you will need to change the settings of that PC to match the default settings of the router:

•The SSID should be Wireless (note the capitalization).

•The Channel should be set to 6.

•WEP encryption is disabled.

Connecting to your Cable Service Provider

Using a coaxial cable provided by your cable service provider, connect the coaxial cable jack on you wall to the cable connector on the gateway.
