2.3Connecting the Router

Before you install the router, you should connect your PC to the Internet through your 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 PC, Cable/DSL Modem, and the router.

2.Locate an optimum location for the router. The best place is usually near the center of the area in which your PC will connect wirelessly. 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) and each Switch/Hub in your LAN to the LAN Ports on the router, shown in Figure 2-1.(If you have the wireless NIC and want to use wireless function, you can skip this step.)

5.Connect the DSL/Cable Modem to the WAN port on the router, shown in figure 3-1.

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.
