Connecting and Configuring your Router
14
Verify the contents of your box. You should have the following:
•
Ativa Wireless G Router
•
Quick Installation Guide
•
Ativa Easy Install Wizard Software CD with User Manual
•
RJ45 Ethernet Networking Cable (for connection of the
Router to the computer)
•
Power Supply
•
Wireless Security Setup Guide
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, in some cases, purchase a
modem that has an RJ45 Ethernet port on it.
Ethernet
USB
ALWAYS INSTALL YOUR ROUTER FIRST!
IF YOU ARE INSTALLING
NUMEROUS NETWORK DEVICES FOR THE FIRST TIME, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT
YOUR ROUTER IS CONNECTED AND RUNNING BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO
INSTALL OTHER NETWORK COMPONENTS SUCH AS NOTEBOOK CARDS AND
DESKTOP CARDS.
Easy Install Wizard
Ativa has provided our Easy Install Wizard software to make installing your
Router a simple and easy task. You can use it to get your Router up and
running in minutes. The Easy Install Wizard requires that your Windows 98SE,
Me, 2000, or XP; or Mac OS X v10.1.x computer be connected directly to your
cable or DSL modem and that the Internet connection is active and working
at the time of installation. If it is not, you must use the “Alternate Setup
Method” section of this User Manual to configure your Router. Additionally, if
you are using an operating system other than Windows 98SE, Me, 2000, or XP,
you must set up the Router using the “Alternate Setup Method” section of this
User Manual.

Step 2
Set up the Hardware
The Wizard will walk you through connecting your Router to your computer and
modem. Follow the steps on the screen using the pictures as a guide.
2.1
This step instructs you to locate
the cable connected between your

your computer. Unplug this cable
from the computer and plug it into
the modem port on the Router. Click
“Next” to continue.
2.2
This step instructs you to locate
the BLUE cable that is included
with your Router. Plug one end
of this cable into ANY one of the
wired-computer ports on your
Router. Plug the other end of the
cable into the networking port on
your computer. Click “Next”
to continue.

2.4
This step instructs you to look at the
lights on the front of your Router. Make
sure the appropriate lights are ON. Refer
to the Easy Install Wizard software on
your computer’s screen for more details.
Click “Next” to continue.
Note:
The Easy Install Wizard may ask
you to reboot your computer. If it does,
reboot your computer and proceed with
the installation.
Step 3
Check the Connection
3.1
Once you have completed connecting
the Router, the Wizard will check the
connection to the Router and then go
on to determine what type of Internet
connection you have.
3.2
User Name and Password Needed
If you have a connection type that
requires a user name and a password, the
Wizard will ask you to type in your user
name and password. If your connection
type does not require a user name and
password, you will not see this screen.
Your user name and password is provided
to you by your Internet Service Provider.
If you have to type in a user name and
password to connect to the Internet,
then type that same user name and
password in here. Your user name looks
something like “[email protected]” or
simply “jsmith”. The service name is
optional and is very rarely required by
your ISP. If you don’t know your service
name, leave this blank. When you have
entered your information, click “Next”
to move on.
