Connect the Router
Overview
Unlike a simple hub or switch, the Router's setup consists of more than simply plugging hardware together. You
will have to configure your networked PCs to accept the IP addresses that the Router assigns them (if applicable),
and you will also have to configure the Router with setting(s) provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
The installation technician from your ISP should have left the setup information with you after installing your
broadband connection. If not, you can call your ISP to request the data.
Once you have the setup information you need for your specific type of Internet connection, you can begin
installation and setup of the Router.
Connecting Your Hardware Together and Booting Up
1.
Before you begin, make sure that all of you hardware is powered off, including the Router, PCs, hubs, and
switches.
