Chapter II: System and Network Setup
2-1 Building the network connection
To build the network connection between your router and your
computers and network devices:
1. Connect your xDSL / cable modem to the WAN port of the router
using Ethernet cable.
2. Connect all your computers, network devices (network-enabled
consumer devices other than computers, like game consoles or
switches) to the LAN port of the router.

15
3. Connect the power adapter to the wall outlet, then connect it to
the power jack of the router.

16
4. Check all LEDs on the front panel. The PWR LED should be
steadily on; the WAN and LAN LEDs should be on if the
computer / network device connected to the respective port of
the router is powered on and correctly connected. If the PWR
LED is not on, or if any LED you expect to be on is not, recheck
the connections or refer to 4-2 Troubleshooting for possible
reasons and solutions.

2-2 Connecting to the router by Web browser
After the network connection is built, the next step is to set up
the router with proper network parameters so it can work properly in
your network environment.
Before you can connect to the router and start the configuration
procedures, your computer must be able to get an IP address
automatically (use a dynamic IP address). If it’s set to use a static
IP address, or if you’re unsure, configure your computer to use a
dynamic IP address using these steps:
If the operating system of your computer is:
Windows 2000 - go to section 2-2-1
Windows XP - go to section 2-2-2
Windows Vista/Windows 7 - go to section 2-2-3
Windows 8 - go to section 2-2-4
2-2-1 Windows 2000 IP address setup:
1. Click Start (it should be located at the lower-left corner of your
desktop), then click Control Panel. Double-click the Network and
Dial-up Connections icon; click Local Area Connection. The
Local Area Connection Properties window will appear. Select
“Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)”and then click Properties.

18
2. Select “Obtain an IP address automatically”and “Obtain DNS
server address automatically,” then click OK.

19
2-2-2 Windows XP IP address setup:
1. Click Start (it should be located at the lower-left corner of your
desktop), then click Control Panel. Double-click the Network and
Internet Connections icon, click Network Connections, and then
double-click Local Area Connection. The Local Area
Connection Properties window will appear.Select “Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP)” and then click Properties.
