Placement Options
Placement Options
There are three ways to place the Router. The first way is to place it horizontally on a surface, so it
sits on its four rubber feet. The second way is to stand the Router vertically on a surface
(this uses an
optional stand)
. The third way is to mount it on a wall. The second and third options are explained in
further detail below.
Stand Option
If you have the optional stand, then you can place the Router vertically on a surface.
1.
Line up the center of the Router’s stand with the center of the Router’s labeled edge.
2.
Insert the Router into the stand.
Proceed to “Chapter 5: Configuring the Router.”

Placement Options
Wall-Mount Option
The Router has four wall-mount slots on its bottom panel. The distance between two adjacent slots is
62 mm (2.44 inches).
Before you begin, make sure you have four screws that are size #4—this indicates a diameter
measurement of 0.112 inches (2.845 mm).
1.
Determine where you want to mount the Router.
2.
Drill four holes into the wall. Make sure adjacent holes are 62 mm (2.44 inches) apart.
3.
Insert a screw into each hole, and leave 5 mm (0.2 inches) of its head exposed.
4.
Maneuver the Router so the wall-mount slots line up with the four screws.
5.
Place the wall-mount slots over the screws and slide the Router down until the screws fit snugly
into the wall-mount slots.
Proceed to “Chapter 5: Configuring the Router.”

Overview
Chapter 5: Configuring the Router
Overview
Linksys recommends using the Setup CD-ROM for first-time installation of the Router. If you do not wish to run
the Setup Wizard on the Setup CD-ROM, then you can use the Web-based Utility to configure the Router. For
advanced users, you may configure the Router’s advanced settings through the Web-based Utility.
This chapter will describe each web page on the Utility and each page’s key functions. The Utility can be
accessed via your web browser through use of a computer connected to the Router. For a basic network setup,
most users only have to use the following screens of the Utility:
•
Basic Setup. On the
Basic Setup
screen, enter the Internet connection settings provided by your ISP. If you do
not have this information, you can call your ISP to request the settings. Once you have the setup information
for your specific type of Internet connection, then you can configure the Router.
•
Management. Click the
Administration
tab and then the
Management
tab. The Router’s default user name
and password is
admin
. To secure the Router, change the User Name and Password from their defaults.
There are seven main tabs: Setup, Security, Access Restrictions, Applications & Gaming, Administration, Status,
and Voice. Additional tabs will be available after you click one of the main tabs.
