Quick Install Guide
Xtreme N Dual Band Gigabit Router
Tips for PPPoE and USB connections:
If you have DSL and are connecting via PPPoE, make sure that you disable or uninstall any
PPPoE software such as WinPoet, Broadjump, or Enternet 300 from your computer or you will
not be able to connect to the Internet.
You can only use the Ethernet port on your modem. If you were using USB to connect before,
then you must turn o your modem, disconnect the USB cable and connect an Ethernet cable
to the Internet port on the router, then turn the modem back on. In some cases, you may need
to call your ISP to change connection types (USB to Ethernet).
Important: for best results, insert the Installation CD and follow the on-screen instructions. If you
are unable to use the CD or are using Mac or Linux, please use the following installation steps:
