SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP

2 SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP

2.1 Connecting the Router

1. Connect your DSL or cable modem to the WAN port of the router using the

provided RJ45 Ethernet cable. NOTE: Standard modems provided by Internet

service providers come with at least one LAN/Ethernet port, which connects to

the WAN port of the router.

2. Connect all your computers and network devices (network-enabled components

like game consoles, network media players, network storage units or LAN

switches) to the LAN ports (1-4) of the router.

3. Connect the A/C power adapter to the wall socket, and then connect it to the

power jack of the router.
4. Check all LEDs on the front panel. The PWR LED should be on, and the WAN

and LAN LEDs should be on if the computer or network device connected to the

corresponding router port(s) is powered on and correctly connected.

2.2 Obtaining an IP Address

Before you can connect to the router and start configuration procedures, your

computer must be able to obtain an IP address automatically (that is, to use a

dynamic IP address). This is the default setup

for any standard Windows computer, and it

normally is not required to make any changes.
1. With your computer connected to a LAN port

on the router, activate the network

connection. Start your Web browser and

open http://192.168.2.1 to display a login

window (right).
2. Enter “admin” as the username and “1234” as

the password, then click “OK.”
