Installing the BEFSRU31's
USB Port Drivers
Use the enclosed USB cable to connect your PC to the Router: the Type A
end connects to your PC's USB port, while Type B connects to the Router's
USB port. Now that all of your Router's hardware is connected together, you
must enable the PC that will connect to the Router through its USB port.
Since your USB connection acts as a network adapter for your PC, there's no
need for you to install a network adapter for that PC. Just follow the directions
below to enable your PC's USB connection to the Router:
• If you are running Windows 98, continue on this page, below.
• For other Windows operating systems, please refer to the appropriate section
as listed in the Table of Contents.
After you finish this configuration, make sure that TCP/IP is
installed on your PC(s). For instructions on installing TCP/IP, see
the Installing the TCP/IP Protocol section in the Appendix.
You can also connect your Router's USB port to other USB devices besides
USB-ready PCs, such as USB hubs.

1. With the router connected to your PC's USB port, start up your PC in
Windows 98 and insert the driver disk.
