Connecting and Configuring your

Router

Network + System Requirements

To begin using the Velocity Series, make sure you meet the following as minimum requirements:

•

PC/Notebook.

•

Operating System – Microsoft Windows 98SE/ME/XP/2000/VISTA/7

•

1 Free Ethernet port on PC/Notebook.

•

•

External xDSL (ADSL) or Cable modem with an Ethernet port (RJ-45).

•

Modem Requirements

Your cable or DSL modem must be equipped with an RJ45 Ethernet port. Many modems have both an RJ45 Ethernet port and a USB

connection. If you have a modem with both Ethernet and USB, and are using the USB connection at this time, you will be instructed to use

the RJ45 Ethernet port during the installation procedure. If your modem has only a USB port, you can request a different type of modem

from your ISP, or you can purchase a modem that has an RJ45 Ethernet port on it.

Connecting your Router

A

Attach your antennas. Place your router next to your modem. Unplug your modem’s power cord.

B

Locate the networking cable that connects your modem and computer. Unplug that cable from your modem, and plug it into any

LAN port on the back of the Velocity Series Router.

C

Find your new networking cable (included in the box with your Velocity series Router) and connect it to the WAN port on the back of

the Velocity Series Router. Connect the other end to your modem’s LAN Port.

D

Plug in your modem’s power cord. Wait 60 seconds for the modem to start up. Plug the Velocity Series Router’s power supply into

the power socket on the back. Plug the other end into the wall outlet. Turn on the power outlet.

E

Wait 20 seconds for the Router to start up. Look at the display on the front of the Router. Make sure the “Power”, “LAN” and “WAN”

icons are lit up in blue. If they are not, recheck your connections.
