Router Setup Manual
Two Setup Methods: Smart Wizard Setup or Manual Setup
You have two methods available for setting up your router:
•Smart Wizard setup. This option is the easiest. The wizard guides you through the setup process, automates many of the steps, and verifies that necessary conditions exist and that steps you perform have been successfully completed. This option requires a PC running Microsoft Windows.
•Manual setup. This option is best if you cannot use the wizard on the CD, are replacing an existing router, or are technically knowledgeable. Follow the instructions in this manual to set up your router.
Use the setup option that best suits you.

2.When the Welcome screen displays, click Setup to start the Smart Wizard. Follow the wizard instructions.
At the close of installation, the Smart Wizard places a Router_Setup.html file on your computer’s desktop so that you can view the router settings. It also places the Router Login 
shortcut on the desktop for you to access the router’s main menu.
