Attach the Wireless Barricade Router to the Internet

If Internet services are provided through an xDSL or cable modem, use unshielded or shielded twisted-pair Ethernet cable (Category 3 or greater) with RJ-45 plugs to connect the broadband modem directly to the WAN port on the Wireless Barricade.

Note: When connecting to the WAN port, use 100-ohm Category 3, 4, or 5 shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends for all connections.

Connecting the Power Adapter

Plug the power adapter into the power socket on the Wireless Barricade, and the other end into a power outlet. Check the indicator marked “PWR” on the front panel to be sure it is on. If the power indicator does not light, refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 67.
