2.Plug the power adapter into the 12VDC port on the back of the router. Plug the other end into an available power source. The green PWR LED on the router should now be lit.

3.Using an RJ-45 Ethernet cable, connect each of your network devices to one of the four LAN ports (labeled 1 through 4) on the router.

4.Using an RJ-45 Ethernet cable, connect your xDSL or Cable modem to one of the router’s WAN ports (labeled MDI-II and MDI-X). You need to know what type of modem port and connection cable you are using.

NOTE: After connecting your modem to your WAN port, check the WAN LNK/ACT LED on the front of the router. If the LED is lit, you have selected the proper WAN port. If the WAN LNK/ACT LED is not lit, try plugging your cable into the other WAN port.
