1. Before you begin, make sure that all of your hardware is powered off, including the Router, PCs, hubs,
switches, and cable or DSL modem.

the other end to an Ethernet port on a network device, e.g., a PC, print server, hub, or switch.
Repeat this step to connect more PCs or other network devices to the Router.
3. Connect your cable or DSL modem's Ethernet cable to one of the Router's Internet ports. If using the Internet2
port, connect a second cable to it, and the other end to the network device, e.g., modem or public server.
4. Power on the cable or DSL modem and the other network device if using one.
5. Connect the included AC power cable to the Router's Power port, and then plug the power adapter into an
electrical outlet.
