the instructions in this Quick Installa-
tion to install the Cable/DSL Router
with 8-Port Switch. However, you can
use the Setup Wizard included on

you have a Static IP, DHCP, or PPPoE
account from your Service pro-
vider. PPTP users (common in
Europe) need to follow the instruc-
tions in this document.
AMake sure all devices, includ-
ing your PCs, modem, and
Router, are powered down.
BIf you haven’t already done so,

modem to its proper connec-
tion—the coaxial jack for

DSL. Follow the instructions from
your cable or DSL modem’s
installation guide.

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.

Enter http://192.168.1.1 (the
Router’s default local IP
address) in the web browser’s

word. Leave the User Name
field empty, and enter admin
(the default) in the Password
field. Then click the OK button.

will appear with the Basic Setup
screen showing.
