¾TCP/IP protocol on each PC

¾Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 , Netscape Navigator 6.0 or above

2.2 Installation Environment Requirements

¾Avoid direct irradiation of any strong light (such as sunlight)

¾Keep at least 2 inches (5 cm) of clear space around the Router

¾Operating Humidity: 10%~90%RH, Non-condensing

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 PC, 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) 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 the wireless function, you can skip this step.)

5.Connect the DSL/Cable Modem to the WAN port on the Router, shown in Figure 2-1.

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.

7.Power on your PC and Cable/DSL Modem.
