AND/OR

Use an 802.11b compatible wireless network adapter to connect PC(s) to the router using the wireless

SSID: SpeedStream

Channel: 11

3.Connect your DSL/Cable modem to the WAN port on the SpeedStream Wireless Router using the Ethernet cable supplied with your DSL/Cable modem. If no cable was supplied with your modem, use a straight-through CAT 5 Ethernet cable.

5.(Optional) If you intend to use the SpeedStream wireless router’s print server functionality, connect the parallel cable of the printer to the printer port on the router before powering on the router.

6.Connect the power adapter to the SpeedStream router. Use only the power adapter provided.

7.After the router is power ON, verify LED functionality below:

•The Status LED should flash, then turn Off.

•The Power, WAN, and Wireless LEDs should be ON.

•For each active LAN (PC) connection, the LAN Link/Act LED should be ON.

•If the printer is On and Online, the Print Act LED should be ON

Step 2 Router Configuration

Windows XP and Me Users: If you have Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) enabled , Windows may detect the

SpeedStream router upon startup and provide a shortcut to the router on your desktop. If so, double-click the SpeedStream router icon and skip to step 3 in the router configuration procedure below.

1.Start your web browser. In the Address box, enter the following: HTTP://192.168.254.254

2.Press Enter. The SpeedStream Simple Setup Wizard will launch.

3.Follow the on-screen instructions and choose the appropriate Internet connection method.

4.When prompted, enter the Internet connection information provided by your Internet service provider.

5.At the end of the Setup Wizard, the router will run an Internet connection test to complete the setup process. Ensure that your DSL or Cable modem is connected properly and powered on

NOTE: If your Service Provider currently requires you to use separate PPPoE client software, discontinue use of this software and enter your username and password in the PPPoE Connection username and password fields. The SpeedStream Wireless Router will negotiate the PPPoE logon to your service provider’s network.
