Before setting up the Router, make sure your PCs are configured to obtain an
IP (or TCP/IP) address automatically from the Router.
For Windows 98, Millennium, and XP using the default interface, refer to the
User Guide on the Setup CD-ROM or your Windows documentation.
The following instructions apply only to Windows 2000 or XP using the
Classic interface (in which the icons and menus look like previous Windows
versions).
A. Click the Start button and then the Control Panel icon. Click the
Network and Internet Connections icon. Then click the Network
Connections icon.
B. Select the Local Area Connection
icon for the applicable Ethernet
adapter (usually it is the first Local
Area Connection listed). Double-
click the Local Area Connection.
Click the Properties button.

Application Diagram
This application diagram shows a typical scenario that uses the Dual-Band
Wireless A/G Broadband Router. Steps 1, 2, and 3 will explain how to connect
the Router to a PC with an Ethernet adapter, configure the PC(s), and config-
ure the Router’s basic settings.
A. Before you begin, make sure that you have the setup information for your
specific type of Internet connection. The installation technician from your
ISP should have left this information with you after installing your broad-
band connection. If not, you can call your ISP to request the settings.
B. Make sure that all of your network’s hardware is powered off, including the
Router, PCs, and cable or DSL modem.
Connect the Dual-Band Wireless A/G
Broadband Router
C. Connect one end of an Ethernet net-
work cable to one of the LAN ports
(labeled 1-4) on the back of the
Router, and the other end to an
Ethernet port on a PC.
Repeat this step to connect more PCs
or network devices to the Router.
D. Connect a different Ethernet network
cable from your cable or DSL
modem to the Internet port on the
Router’s rear panel. This is the only
port that will work for your modem
connection.
E. Power on the cable or DSL modem.
F. Connect the power adapter to the Power port on the rear panel of the Router,
and then plug the power adapter into a power outlet.
The Power LED on the front panel will light up green as soon as the power
adapter is connected properly.
The Diag LED will light up red for a few seconds when the Router goes
through its self-diagnostic test. This LED will turn off when the self-test is
complete. If it does not turn off, refer to “Appendix A: Troubleshooting” of
the User Guide on the Setup CD-ROM.
G. Power on one of your PCs.
Proceed to Step 2.
There are two ways to configure
the Router. Choose one of the fol-
lowing methods:
•Run the Setup CD-ROM - It is
strongly recommended that you
use the Setup CD-ROM to install
the Router. Insert the Setup CD-
ROM into the CD-ROM drive, and
follow the on-screen instructions.
•Use this Quick Installation guide -
If you wish, you can use the
Router’s web-based utility to install
the Router. Proceed to Step 1, and
follow the Quick Installation’s
instructions.
Note: You should always plug the Router’s power adapter into a power strip
with surge protection.

C. Make sure the box next to Internet

(TCP/IP), and click the Properties
button.

matically. Once the new window
appears, click the OK button. Click

PC configuration.
E. Restart your computer.
Proceed to Step 3.
These instructions will show you how to configure the Router. You only need
to configure the Router once using any computer you have set up.
A. Open your web browser. Enter http://192.168.1.1 in its Address field. Press
the Enter key.
B. An Enter Network Password window will appear. Leave the User Name
field empty, and enter the default password, admin, in lowercase letters in
the Password field. (For added security, later you should change the default
to your own, using the Password tab of the web-based utility). Then click the
OK button.
C. The web-based utility will appear with the Setup tab selected. If requested
by your ISP (usually cable ISPs), complete the Host Name and Domain
Name fields. Other-wise, leave them blank.
D. For the Configuration Type setting, four connections types are offered
through the drop-down menu. Each Setup screen and available features will
differ depending on which connection type you select.
Internet Configuration Type
Automatic Configuration - DHCP: If you are connecting through DHCP
or a dynamic IP address from your ISP, keep this default setting.
Static IP: If your ISP assigns you a static IP address, select Static IP from
the drop-down menu. Complete the Internet IP Address, Subnet Mask,
Default Gateway, and DNS fields. You need to enter at least one DNS
address.
PPPoE: If you are connecting through PPPoE, select PPPoE from the drop-
down menu. Complete the User Name and Pas sword fields.
PPTP: PPTP is a service used in Europe only. If you are using a PPTP con-
nection, check with your ISP for the necessary setup information.
When you are finished entering your Internet connection settings, click the
Apply button to save your changes.
E. To configure the Router for your wireless network, select the appropriate
network mode.
Mode 802.11a
The default setting is Enable. To disable wireless networking for 802.11a,
select Disable.
Mode 54g
Mixed: If you have Wireless-G and 802.11b devices in your network, then
keep the default setting, Mixed.
G-Only: If you have only Wireless-G devices, select G-Only.
Disable: To disable wireless networking for 54g and 802.11b, select
Disable.
F. Customize the SSID and Channel settings as needed. For added security,
you should change the default SSID (linksys-a or linksys-g) to a unique
name and enable WEP encryption in step G.
G. To enable WEP encryption (recom-
mended), click the Enable radio
button next to WEP. Then click the
Edit WEP Settings button, and
customize the WEP encryption set-
tings as needed (see Figure G).
Click the Apply button to save
your settings. For more informa-
tion, refer to the User Guide on the
Setup CD-ROM.
H. On the Setup screen, click the Apply button to save your settings. Close
the web browser.
I. Restart your computers so that they can obtain the Router’s new settings.

ing http://www.linksys.com/registration.
