If this test fails, check the physical connections between the computer, the router, and the wall jack or jacks. Check for errors in any manual entries you made during the configuration process.

In most cases, this SmartStart configuration is all that you need to get your router up and running and connected to the Internet. However, you may want to take advantage of additional features or special configuration options available through the console-based configuration interface. For detailed instructions, see “Console-based Management” on page 6-1.
