Physical installation

1 For the installation of the router it is assumed that you have at least one PC with a working broadband
Internet connection. It is also assumed that the modem is configured in accordance with the requirements of
your ISP and of the modem manufacturer. If not, consult your ISP support literature.
2 Before you begin, ensure that the power lead is not connected to either the router or the cable modem/DSL
modem. Leave your cable modem/DSL modem plugged in (telephone line or cable input).
