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.
3.3
Wireless Setup
This step is optional. Click “Next”
if you want to skip it. Using this
step, you can customize your
wireless network settings if you
want to. Follow the steps on the
screen to complete this step. Click
“Next” to continue.

Step 4
Secure your Network
4.1
After connection has been
established, you will be
prompted by the Quick
Installation Software to select
your desired security level.
4.2
WEP and WPA are the two
security options. If you do not
want security or would prefer to
install at a later time, click the
radio button next to “NONE”
and click “Next.”
4.3
The Wi-Fi Protected Access
(WPA) security option features
a two-password setup. You
can select one password that
provides COMPLETE NETWORK
access and another password
for GUEST (Internet only)
access only. Click “Next”.
4.4
Security setup is now complete.
Click “Next” to configure.

Step 5
Configure the Router
The Wizard will now transfer all of
the configuration information to the
Router. This will take approximately
one minute. During this time, do not
turn off the Router or computer. The
Router will restart itself at the end of
this step.
5.1
Checking Internet
The Wizard will now check
for an Internet connection.
This can take a few minutes.
The Wizard may not detect a
connection right away. If not,
it will retry a number of times.
The “Connected” light on the
front panel of the Router will
flash during this time. Please be
patient through this process.
5.2
Finished
When the Internet connection
is complete, the Wizard will tell
you
that you are finished. The
“Connected” LED on the front of
the Router will be solid GREEN,
indicating that the Router is
now connected to the Internet.
Your Router is now connected to the Internet. Now you can begin surfing
the Internet by opening your browser and going to your favorite web page.
Congratulations.
You have finished installing your new MyEssentials
Router. You are ready to set up the other computers in your home. You
can also add computers to your Router anytime you want.
