Chapter 5: Setting Up the Dual-Band
Wireless A + G Broadband Router
When you are ready to connect the Router to your network, the Router's Setup
Wizard will take you through all the steps necessary for configuration.
Note: While the Router has been designed to work correctly right
out of the box, setting it up on a wireless computer will require you
to use the Linksys default settings. These settings can then be
changed with the Setup Wizard or Web-based Browser Utility.
1. Insert the Setup Wizard CD into your PC's CD-ROM drive. Your PC must
have an active Internet connection.
2. The screen in Figure 5-1 should appear on your monitor. If it does not, this
means the autorun is not functioning. Start the Setup Wizard manually by
clicking the Start button, selecting Run, and typing d:\setup.exe (where
"D" is your PC's CD-ROM drive). To set up the first computer connected
to the Router, click the Set Up First Computer button. When you are ready
to set up additional PCs, click the Set Up Additional Computer(s) button.
Clicking the User Guide button opened this User Guide. To exit this Setup
Wizard, click the Exit button.

3. As shown in Figure 5-2, you will need to have your PC connected to an
active Internet connection. The Setup Wizard will use this connection to
detect what type of Internet access you have. Verify that you are set up cor-
rectly to your Internet connection and click the Next button to continue.
4. Next, you will be asked what type of Internet connection you are using, as
shown in Figure 5-3. Click the DSL or Cable button, whichever is appro-
priate for your type of connection.
