2.3 Connecting the Router

Before installing the Router, make sure your PC is connected to the Internet through the broadband service successfully. If there is any problem, please contact your ISP. After that, please install the Router according to the following steps. Don't forget to pull out the power plug and keep your hands dry.

1.Power off your Cable/DSL Modem, and the Router.

2.Locate an optimum location for the Router. The best place is usually at the center of your wireless network. The place must accord with the Installation Environment Requirements.

3.Adjust the direction of the antenna. Normally, upright is a good direction.

4.Connect the PC(s) or Switch/Hub in your LAN to the LAN Ports of the 3G/4G Router with Ethernet cable.

5.The 3G/4G Router supports both 3G/4G and WAN connection; so you can insert 3G/4G USB Modem to the USB port of the Router (as shown in Figure 2-1), or connect the DSL/Cable Modem to the WAN port of the Router (as shown in Figure 2-2). Please visit our website http://www.tp-link.com to get the latest USB modems compatibility, and we recommend you to check whether the modem in your hand has already been tested by us.

6.Connect the power adapter to the power socket on the Router, and the other end into an electrical outlet. The Router will start to work automatically.

7.Power on your Cable/DSL Modem.
