ABefore you begin, make sure
that all of your hardware is
powered off, including the
Router, PCs, hubs, switches,
and cable or DSL modem.
BConnect one end of an Ether-
net network cable to one of
the numbered ports on the
front of the Router. Connect
the other end to an Ethernet
port on a network device, e.g.,
a PC, print server, hub, or
switch.
Repeat this step to connect
more PCs or other network
devices to the Router.
CConnect your cable or DSL
modem’s Ethernet cable to
the Router’s Internet port.
DPower on the cable or DSL
modem and the other network
device if using one.

Connect the Router
In Step 2, you will need the setup
instructions provided by your Inter-
net Service Provider (ISP). If you do
not have this information, then con-
tact your ISP before proceeding.
The instructions from your ISP tell you
how to set up your PC for Internet
access. Because you are now using
the Router to share Internet access
among several computers, you will
use the setup information to config-
ure the Router instead of your PC.
AOpen your PC’s web browser.
Enter http://192.168.1.1 (the
Router’s default local IP
address) in the web browser’s
Address field. Then press the
Enter key.
BA screen will appear and ask
you for a User Name and Pass-
word. Enter admin (the default)
in the the User Name and Pass-
word fields. Then click the OK
button.

Configure the Router
A
EConnect the included AC
power cable to the Router’s
Power port on the back of the
Router, as shown in Figure E,
and then plug the other end of
the power cable into an elec-
trical outlet.
The System LED on the front
panel will light up as soon as
the power adapter is con-
nected properly.
NOTE:: Make sure your PC’s Ethernet
adapter is set to obtain an IP address
automatically. For more information,
refer to Windows Help.

Obtain an IP
1 Obtain an IP Automatically
aIf your ISP says that you are
connecting through DHCP or a
dynamic IP address from your
ISP, then select Obtain an IP
automatically as the WAN
Connection Type. If you also
select Use the Following DNS
Server Addresses, enter a spe-
cific DNS Server IP Address.
bClick the Save Settings button,
and go to Step G.
2 Static IP
aIf your ISP says that you are
connecting through a static or
fixed IP address from your ISP,
then select Static IP as the WAN
Connection Type.
bEnter the WAN IP Address, Sub-
net Mask Default Gateway
Address, and DNS Server pro-
vided by your ISP.
cIn the DNS Server fields, enter
the DNS address(es) provided
by your ISP. You need to enter
at least one DNS address.
dClick the Save Settings button,
and go to Step G.
CThe Router’s Web-based Utility
will appear with the System
Summary screen showing.
Click on the Setup tab, which is
the next tab over, then con-
tinue with the instruction,
below, to complete the Net-
work page.
DDepending on the setup infor-
mation from your ISP, you may
need to provide a host name
and domain name for the
Router. The Host Name and
Domain Name fields are usu-
ally left blank. If requested by
your ISP (usually cable ISPs),
complete these two fields.
EChoose the internet interface
you wish to use, the RJ45 or the
SFP. Only one of these ports
can be used at the same time.
FIn the drop-down menu for the
WAN Connection Type setting
features four Internet connec-
tion types: obtain an IP auto-
matically, Static IP, PPPoE, and
PPTP. Depending on which con-
nection type you select, the
features available on the Net-
work page of the Setup screen
will differ. Proceed to the
instructions for the connection
type you are using.
GIf you haven’t already done so,
click the Save Settings button.
Then, close the web browser.
HPower your cable or DSL
modem off and back on
again.
IRestart or power on your PCs so
they can obtain the Router’s
new settings.
JTo test the Router’s settings,
open your web browser from
any computer. In the browser’s
Address field, enter
www.linksys.com/registration
and press the Enter key.
Congratulations! The installation of
the Router is complete.
3PPPoE
aIf your ISP says that you are
connecting through PPPoE or if
you normally enter a user
name and password to access
the Internet, then select PPPoE
as the WAN Connection Type.
bEnter the User Name and Pass-
word provided by your ISP.
cIf you select Connect on
Demand, the PPPoE connec-
tion will be disconnected if it
has been idle for a period
longer than the Max Idle Time
setting.
dIf you select Keep Alive, the
Router will keep the connec-
tion alive by sending out a few
data packets at the Redial
Period, so your Internet service
thinks that the connection is still
active.
eClick the Save Settings button.
fGo to Step G.
4PPTP
PPTP is a service used in Europe and
Israel only. IF you are using a PPTP
connection, check with your ISP for
the necessary setup information.
When you are finished, go to Step G.
