2.4 Examining Settings
The Wizard will now examine your computer’s settings and gather information
needed to complete the Router’s connection to the Internet.
2.5 Multi-NICs Screen
This screen will appear ONLY if you have more than one network adapter
installed in your computer. If you have more than one network adapter installed
in your computer, the Wizard will need to know which adapter is connected to
your modem. Select the network card that is connected to your modem from the
list and click “Next”. If you are not sure which adapter to choose, select the
adapter at the top of the list. If you mistakenly choose the wrong adapter now,
you will be able to choose a different one later.

2.6 PPPoE Connection Detected
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 “myname”. 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.
Step 3: Connect the Router to your Modem and Computer
The Wizard will ask you to connect your Router. Follow the steps on the screen,
or do the following:
3.1 Turn off the power to your modem by unplugging the power supply from
the modem.
3.2 Locate the network cable that is connected between your modem and your
computer and unplug it from your computer, leaving the other end
connected to your modem.
3.3 Plug the loose end of the cable you just unplugged into the port on the back
of the Router labeled “Internet/WAN”.

3.4 Connect the new network cable from the back of the computer to one of
the ports labeled “1–4”.
NOTE:
It does not matter which numbered port you choose.
3.5 Turn on your cable or DSL modem by reconnecting the power supply to
the modem.
3.6 Before plugging the power cord into the Router, plug the cord into the wall,
then plug the cord into the Router’s power jack.
3.7 Verify that your modem is connected to the Router by checking the lights on
the front of the Router. The green light labeled “WAN” should be ON if your
modem is connected correctly to the Router. If it is not, recheck
your connections.
3.8 Verify that your computer is connected properly to the Router by checking
the lights labeled “LAN 1,2,3,4”. The light which corresponds to the
numbered port that you connected your computer to should be ON if your
computer is connected properly.

4.1 Checking the Connection
Once you have completed the connection of your Router, the Wizard will check
the connection to the Router. If the Router is not detected, use the

to obtain help about how to correct the problem. If the Wizard is able to
communicate with the Router, the Wizard will move on to the next step.
4.2 Configuring the Router

This will take approximately one minute.
