your PC (or other device), and will connect to a Wireless LAN. This has the
effect of converting the Ethernet port to a Wireless interface.

and the Travel Router.
Follow these steps to set up your Travel Router:
1 Use the mode selector switch on the side of the Travel Router to select
Setup/Configuration mode (switch position 3).
2 Power up and wait for the Wireless LED to turn on. This indicates the
Travel Router is ready.
