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.
