configuration parameters to connect your router to the Internet:

Two Setup Methods: 1) Smart Wizard Setup 2) Manual Setup
You have two methods available for setting up your ADSL modem wireless router:
•
Smart Wizard Setup: Use the Smart Wizard on the CD to assist you with setting up your
ADSL modem wireless router.
— This option is the easiest. The Smart Wizard on the CD guides you through the setup
process, automating many of the steps, and verifying that necessary conditions exist and
that steps you perform have been successfully completed.
— This option requires a PC running Microsoft Windows 98SE or higher.
