BACK - Technical Specifications NEXT - Router Connection Type - DSL
Cable Modem
Most users who have cable modems are set up for DHCP. These include Internet
Service Providers (ISP) such as Comcast, AT&T Broadband and Rogers Cable
service. At most, your ISP may have contacted you to register the Media Access
Control (MAC) address of your network interface card (NIC) in the machine. A
cable modem is used to connect a computer to a cable service that provides
Internet access. Cable modems can dramatically increase the bandwidth between
the user's computer and the Internet service provider. However, cable service is a
shared mode of Internet connectivity, and thus the speed will vary depending on
how many people on that cable segment are using the Internet at the same time.
The cable modem transmission system (CMTS) is responsible for converting
radio frequency (RF) signals into data packets for the Internet.

DSL Modem
Most users with DSL modems require a username and password in order to log
onto the Internet. These include Internet Service Providers (ISP) such as PacBell,
Earthlink or Sympatico. The Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) is a technology that
increases the digital capacity of PSTN lines. DSL is different from ISDN in that it
provides an “always-on” connection. ADSL (Asymmetric-DSL) and SDSL
(Symmetric-DSL) are the two main types of DSL service provided.

Static (Fixed) IP Address
If you have been provided a Fixed IP from your Internet Service Provider, they
should have given you the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS
Addresses. In this case, you can configure your broadband router with a Static IP
on the WAN interface. This IP address is constant and the ISP will not change it.
If you are unsure of any of the necessary IP Addresses, please contact your ISP
before proceeding with the installation of the router.

Connecting To Your SMC2404WBR 11/22 Mbps Wireless Broadband
Router
There are 3 major segments that you will connect together: Modem to
Router to Computer.
Figure 1.0 The picture above illustrates the hardware needed to set up your
network. (Shown above from left to right is the SM8002CM and
SMC2404WBR. The picture of the monitor symbolizes the connection coming
from your router to your computer.)
Step 1: You must connect your computer to the router using the RJ45 cable that
came with the router. Then connect the modem to the WAN port of the router
using the cable that came with your modem. Make sure that the BNC connection
to the cable modem is secure at all times. Plug the appropriate power adapter into
the router.
Step 2: Double-check to be sure that the RJ45 connection coming from the
modem connects to the WAN port at the back of the router. Once the RJ45
connector is plugged into the WAN port, you should hear it click into the RJ45

port. This will indicate that the connection is firmly attached. Then look at the
front of your router, and you will see a WAN LED. If this light is lit, it will
indicate that you have a connection coming from your modem. This is vital to
successfully establishing an internet connection through the router.
Troubleshooting Tip 1: If this light does not come on, you should check if your
cables are firmly inserted. Also try switching cables as well. If the light still does
not appear, try using a crossover RJ45 cable.
Step 3: You can plug from ports 1, 2, 3 or 4 into your network card. Double-
check to be sure that the RJ45 connection coming from that particular port is
firmly inserted into your network card. Once this connection is locked in, you
will see a link light on the router indicating that there is a connection between
your computer and router.
Troubleshooting Tip 2: If you do not see a link light, make sure that the
connection coming from your computer is not loose. Try switching the cables as
well.
Troubleshooting Tip 3: Try using a different port on the router if you continue to
have problems getting a link light on the first port you have tried. Also check your
operating system and verify that your network card is working properly. You can
check this through the Device Manager.
Step 4: Now that the link lights indicate all connections are valid, you are ready
to begin configuring your PC.

This section will assist you in configuring your browser and
computer settings.
Before you start configuring your PC, make sure that you have
properly connected your Modem to the WAN port of the Wireless
Barricade Turbo router. The router should then be connected to
your computer.
