1Complete the “Pre-installation checklist” on page 1.

2Turn off your computer.

3Unplug the power from your cable or DSL modem.

4Unplug the Ethernet cable that is connected from your cable or DSL modem to your computer. Connect it from your modem

to the WAN port on the SOHO.

This creates a connection between the SOHO and the modem.

5Plug the Ethernet cable supplied with your SOHO into any one of the numbered (1-4) ports on the SOHO. Plug the other end

into the Ethernet card installed in your computer.

This creates a connection between your modem and computer, with the SOHO in between. If you have additional computers, use additional Ethernet cables to connect them to the other numbered ports on the SOHO.
