Configuring Your Macintosh Computer
Once you have connected the Barricade™ Turbo Router to your
Broadband modem, then connect your Macintosh to the Barricade™
Turbo, you are ready to configure your computer to connect to
your Barricade™ Turbo.
Once you have connected these devices, using CAT-5 Ethernet
cabling, please check the Barricade™ Turbo port lights to verify
that you have a good connection.
• The WAN light verifies that you have good connection from your
broadband modem to the Barricade™ Turbo.
• The PORT light verifies that you have a good connection
between a computer and the Barricade™ Turbo. This light will
also display the connection speed (10Mbps or 100Mbps).
If you connect all the devices together and don't get a valid
WAN / PORT light status, then please check the cables.
Once you have verified that you have a good network connection
to all of your devices, then you will need to check your computers
network settings. To do this, please follow the following steps:

Step 2 – Disable HTTP Proxy.
