4.3Setup

To set up your modem with a basic configuration, from the Home page, select Setup. Figure 4-3 illustrates the Setup page. The page is broken into two subsections: the WAN configuration and the LAN configuration.

Before configuring the router, there are several concepts that you should be familiar with on how your new router works. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with these concepts, as it makes the configuration easier.

4.3.1Wide Area Network connection

The DSL (LINE) connection is the Wide Area Network (WAN) connection. It is also referred to as a broadband connection. The requirements for the WAN connection depend on your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Most of the configuration you will perform will be in this area.

4.3.2Local Area Network connection

On the other side of your router are your own Local Area Network (LAN) connections. This is where you plug in your local computers to the router. The router is normally configured to automatically provide all the PCs on your network with Internet addresses.

If connected a PC (rather than a hub or a switch) directly to the modem, your LAN consists of that PC.

4.3.3Saving Changes

Note that the Apply button temporarily saves changes you make. To make changes permanent, click on Tools (at the top of the page) and select System Commands. At the System Commands page, click on Save All.
