Turn off your PC and your Cable or DSL modem.
Note:
If your Cable or DSL modem is connected to your PC
using a USB cable, disconnect the USB cable from both
your PC and from your Cable or DSL modem.
Locate the Ethernet cable from your Cable or DSL modem
that is connected to your PC's Ethernet adapter. Disconnect
that Ethernet cable from your PC's Ethernet adapter.
Connect that Ethernet cable to the WAN port on the rear of
the Broadband Router.
Connect one end of the supplied Ethernet cable to your
PC's Ethernet adapter. Connect the other end to one of the
LAN ports on the Broadband Router.
Turn on your Cable or DSL modem. Connect the included
power cord to the power jack on the Broadband Router. Plug
the power cord into a standard power outlet. The Broadband
Router will automatically enter the self-test phase. After the
self-test phase is complete, turn on your PC.
Note:
When the Broadband Router is in the self-test phase, the
Power LED may flash rapidly and all four LAN LEDs will light
for approximately five seconds. Finally, the Power LED will
continuously be lighted to indicate that the Broadband Router
is operating normally and the self-test phase is complete.
