Chapter 4: Connecting the Dual-Band Wireless A+G
Broadband Router

Overview

Linksys recommends using the Setup Wizard on the Setup CD-ROM for first-time installation of the Router. For
advanced users, you may follow the instructions in this chapter, and then configure the Router through its Web-
based Utility (refer to "Chapter 5: Configuring the Dual-Band Wireless A+G Broadband Router").
This chapter includes two sets of instructions. If the Dual-Band Wireless A+G Broadband Router will be the only
router in your network, follow the instructions in "Hardware Installation for Connection to Your Broadband
Modem." If you want to install the Dual-Band Wireless A+G Broadband Router behind another router in your
network, then follow the instructions in "Hardware Installation for Connection to Another Router."

Hardware Installation for Connection to Your Broadband Modem

1. Power down your network devices.
2. Locate an optimum location for the Router. The best place for the Router is usually at the center of your
wireless network, with line of sight to all of your wireless devices.
3. Adjust the antennas. Normally, the higher you place the antennas, the better the performance will be.
4. Using a standard Ethernet network cable, connect the Router's Internet port to your broadband modem.
