Step 3: Configure the Router

In Step 3, you will configure the Router so it will be able to access the Internet
through your Internet Service Provider (ISP). You will need the setup informa-

before proceeding. To find out what questions you should ask your ISP, refer to
Question #1 in the "Help" section.
