Connecting computers with wired cables
Computers with wired network adapters can use this network. If you
still need to install those adapters, do this now. Then simply connect an
Ethernet cable between your computer’s network port and one of the
available LAN ports (labeled “connections to computers”) on the back
of this Router.]

Alternate Setup Method
1.7
Verify that your modem is connected to the Router by checking the lights on
the TOP 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.
1.8
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 connected to your computer should be ON, if your computer is connected
properly. If it is not, recheck your connections.
Step 2:
Set your Computer’s Network Settings to Work with a
DHCP Server
See the section in this User Manual called “Manually Configuring Network
Settings” for directions.

Logging into the Router
You will see the Router’s home page in your browser window. The home
page is visible to any user who wants to see it. To make any changes to the
Router’s settings, you have to log in. Clicking the “Login” button or clicking
on any one of the links on the home page will take you to the login screen.
The Router ships with no password entered. In the login screen, leave the
password blank and click the “Submit” button to log in.
Logging out of the Router
One computer at a time can log into the Router for the purposes of making
changes to the settings of the Router. Once a user has logged in to make
changes, there are two ways that the computer can be logged out. Clicking
the “Logout” button will log the computer out. The second method is
automatic. The login will time out after a specified period of time. The default
login time-out is 10 minutes. This can be changed from one to 99 minutes.
For more information, see the section in this manual titled “Changing the
Login Time-Out Setting”.
