2.2. Uninstalling your modem or disabling the automatic
connection to your modem
If you already have an Internet "Box" or Ethernet modem connected to your computer, we recommend that
you uninstall it or disable the automatic connection to this modem. The objective in doing so is to
establish the Internet connection via the TCP/IP local area network created by the Hercules router, and no
longer directly via your ADSL modem.
This procedure only applies if you connect to the Internet via an Ethernet modem. If you have a USB
modem, you cannot connect the USB modem to your Hercules router and access the Internet.
If you decide to uninstall the modem's drivers:
- Switch off and then disconnect your modem from your computer's Ethernet port.
- Uninstall the software supplied by your service provider, as well as the modem's drivers. For more
information, please refer to your modem's user manual.
- Now connect your modem to the Internet port on your Hercules router.
If you decide to disable the automatic connection to the modem:
In order to avoid software conflicts, please follow the procedure described below:
- Open your Internet Explorer browser.
- Click Tools/Internet Options.
The Internet Options window is displayed.
- Select the Connections tab.
Scenario 1: your ISP appears in the Internet
Options window.
- Disable the automatic connection to your modem
by selecting the Never dial a connection option.
- Click OK.
