Setup Wizard
The first time you connect to the DSL/Cable Router, the Setup Wizard will run automatically.
(The Setup Wizard will also run if the Router's default settings are restored.)
1. Step through the Wizard until finished.
• You need to know the type of Internet connection service used by your ISP. Check the
data supplied by your ISP.
• The common connection types and associated data are explained in the tables below.
2. On the final screen of the Wizard, run the test and check that an Internet connection can be
established.
• If the connection fails, check your data, the Cable or DSL modem, and all connec-
tions.
• When you exit the Wizard, you will see the Home screen. If you wish to run the Wiz-
ard again at any time, use the "Setup Wizard" button on the main menu.
