Your modem router is now configured to provide Internet access for your network. Your modem router automatically connects to the Internet when one of your computers requires access. It is not necessary to run a dialer or login application such as Dial-Up Networking or Enternet to connect, log in, or disconnect. These functions are performed by the modem router as needed.

To access the Internet from any computer connected to your modem router, launch a browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. You should see the modem router’s Internet LED blink, indicating communication to the ISP. The browser should begin to display a Web page.

The following chapters describe how to configure the Advanced features of your modem router, and how to troubleshoot problems that may occur.
