3 Connecting your device
This chapter provides basic instructions for connecting the device to a computer or LAN and to
the Internet.
In addition to configuring the device, you need to configure the Internet properties of your
computer(s). For more details, see the following sections inAppendix A:
Configuring Ethernet PCs section
Configuring Wireless PCs section
This chapter assumes that you have already subscribed a broadband service with your
Internet service provider (ISP). These instructions provide a basic configuration that should be
compatible with your home or small office network setup. Refer to the subsequent chapters for
additional configuration instructions.
Connecting the Hardware
This section describes how to connect the device to the power outlet and your computer(s) or
network.
WARNING
Before you begin, turn the power off for all devices. These include
your computer(s), your LAN hub/switch (if applicable), and the device.
The diagram below illustrates the hardware connections. The layout of the ports on your
device may vary from the layout shown. Refer to the steps that follow for specific instructions.
Figure 4: Overview of Hardware Connections
AR396 User’s Guide

Step 1. Connect the WAN port to ADSL network
Connect the WAN port to the DSL network which has the high speed internet connection.
Step 2. Connect the Ethernet cable
Connect up to four single Ethernet computers or to a HUB/Switch directly to the device via
Ethernet cable(s).
Note that the cables do not need to be crossover cables; the switch provides MDI and MDIX
auto-detection.
Step 3. Attach the power connector
Connect the AC power adapter to the Power connector on the back of the device and plug the
adapter into a wall outlet or power strip. Turn on and boot up your computer(s) and any LAN
devices such as hubs or switches.
