Chapter 4: Connecting the Wireless-G Broadband Router
with SRX200
Overview
Linksys recommends using the Setup Wizard on the Setup CD-ROM for first-time installation of the Router. For
advanced users, you may follow the instructions in this chapter, and then configure the Router through its Web-
based Utility (refer to "Chapter 5: Configuring the Wireless-G Broadband Router").

Hardware Installation for Connection to Your Broadband Modem

1. Power down your network devices.
2. Locate an optimum location for the Router. The best place for the Router is usually at the center of your
wireless network, with line of sight to all of your mobile stations.
3. Fix the direction of the antennas. Try to place the Router in a position that will best cover your wireless
network. Normally, the higher you place the antennas, the better the performance will be.
4. Connect your network PCs or Ethernet devices to the Router's yellow Ethernet ports using standard Ethernet
network cabling.
5. Connect a standard Ethernet network cable to the Router's blue Internet port. Then, connect the other end of
the Ethernet cable to your cable or DSL broadband modem.
6. Connect the AC power adapter to the Router's Power port and the other end to an electrical outlet.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that you use the power adapter that is supplied with the
Router. Use of a different power adapter could damage the Router.
