the password to login, but the setting will be back to default setting.

Hardware connections

Connect the Router using LAN

Plug in one end of the network cable to the WAN port of the Wireless Internet Broadband Router.

Plug in the other end of the network cable to the Ethernet port of the xDSL or Cable modem.

Use another network cable to connect to the Ethernet card on the computer system; the other end of the cable connects

to the LAN port of the Internet Broadband Router. Since the Wireless Broadband Router has four ports, you can connect

up to four computers directly to the unit. There you do not have to buy a switch to connect these computers since one

Internet Broadband Router functions both as a connection-sharing unit and as a switch.
