WEP, and WPA
• Enable the DMZ feature for a single computer on your network
• Change the Router’s internal password

Step 1 Connect your Router
1.1 Turn off the power to your modem by unplugging the power supply from
the modem.
1.2 Locate the network cable that is connected between your modem and
your computer and unplug it from your computer, leaving the other end
connected to your modem.
1.3 Plug the loose end of the cable you just unplugged into the port on the
back of the Router labeled “Modem”.
1.4 Connect a new network cable (not included) from the back of the
computer to one of the wired computer ports labeled “1–4”. Note: It
does not matter which numbered port you choose.
