There are four Ethernet LAN ports for connection to PCs, network
printers or similar devices. Note the labelling; one pair of LAN LEDs on
the front panel is associated with one port on the rear panel.
If a device is not correctly connected, using a suitable Ethernet cable,
the associated LED will not turn on.

If, for any reason, you need to reset the unit to factory defaults
and cannot access the user interface (e.g. if you have changed

Ethernet Cables
One Ethernet cable, intended for your WAN connection, is bundled
with the router. You can use this as a point of reference for
purchasing other cables; the cable is constructed from unscreened,
"Cat 5" cable with RJ45 connecters at both ends. Cables of this
type can be purchased at most computer retailers.

Hardware Installation

The position of your Router is important to its wireless
performance. The Router should be located in a central position
relative to the wireless PCs that will connect to it. A suitable
location might be on a high shelf or a similar position that allows
good wireless coverage from the Router to the wireless PCs.
To meet the FCC wireless radiation exposure regulations, the Router
should be located in a position to maintain a minimum distance of
20cm (8 inches) from any personnel.
Connect all of the computers that you want to share on your
internet connection to your router. Connect your broadband
modem to the WAN port of the router.
During the initial setup, SMC recommend that the Router is
configured from a wired Ethernet PC as shown in the diagram.
