For this task you need an Ethernet cable.
To access the satellite router so you can perform the required installation
procedures, you connect your installer laptop computer to the router. After the
router is installed and registered with the satellite network, you connect the router
to the customer's computer or other device. During router installation the installer
laptop computer must be directly connected to the router without any intervening
connection.
Connect the installer laptop to the router:
1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect your laptop computer directly to either of the
router's two LAN ports, as shown in Figure 6.
Do not connect the installer laptop to the router through an Ethernet router or
switch.

2. Make sure that neither the satellite router nor the customer's computer are
connected to an Ethernet router or switch.
3. If you are running firewall software on the laptop computer, disable it until you
complete installation of the router.
The LAN LED on the front of the router should now be on.
