Unplug your modem, remove and replace the backup battery if it uses one, and
then plug the modem back in. Use the Ethernet cable to connect the modem to
the yellow Internet port on the router.
Note: If your Internet connection does not require a modem, connect your
main Ethernet cable to the yellow Internet port on the router.
Connect the router to a power source. The router’s Power LED lights amber and
then turns white when the router is ready.
Make sure that the router’s WiFi LED is lit. Find the router’s preassigned WiFi
network name and password on the label on the router.
Open the WiFi connection manager on your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile
device, find the router’s WiFi network name, and use the router’s password to
connect.
