Chapter 2: Connecting the Router
This chapter describes how to connect the Router to your local area network (LAN). You will have to
configure your networked PCs to accept the IP addresses that the Router assigns them, and you will also
have to configure the Router with settings provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
The installation technician from your ISP should have left the setup information for your modem with you
after installing your broadband connection. If not, you can call your ISP to request that data. Once you have
the setup information you need for your broadband connection, you can begin installation and setup the
Router.
If you want to use a PC with an Ethernet adapter to configure the Router, go to "Connecting wired PC to
the Router". If you want to use a PC with a wireless adapter to configure the Router, go to "Connecting
wireless PC to the Router".

What you need to do before you begin

Before connecting the Router, it's highly recommended to connect your PC to the modem directly, and
make sure you can get on the Internet without problem.

Connecting wired PC to the Router

Follow these steps to connect wired PC to the Router.
1. Power on the Router and modem, and make sure all of your PCs are powered off.
2. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to one of the LAN ports on the rear of the Router, and the other
end to an Ethernet port on a PC. (Repeat this step to connect more PCs, a switch, or other network
devices to the Router)
