7.
Connect the AC power adapter to the Router's Power port and the other end into an electrical outlet. Only use
the power adapter supplied with the Router. Use of a different adapter may result in product damage.
Proceed to the following section, “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 its built-in 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 place the Gateway flat on a surface, then you can leave the stand in the closed position. However, if you
want the Gateway to be upright, swivel the stand clockwise 90º and position the Gateway accordingly.
Now that the hardware installation is complete, proceed to “Chapter 5: Configuring the Wireless-G
Media Storage Link Router,” for directions on how to configure the Router.
Wall-Mount Option
The Router has four wall-mount slots on its bottom panel. The distance between two adjacent slots is
2.36 inches (60 mm).
Before you begin, make sure you have two 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.

IMPORTANT:
Make sure you use the power
adapter that is supplied with the Router. Use of a
different power adapter could damage the Router.

2.
Drill two holes into the wall. Make sure adjacent holes are 2.36 inches (60 mm) apart.
3.
Insert a screw into each hole, and leave 0.2 inches (5 mm) of its head exposed.
4.
Maneuver the Router so the wall-mount slots line up with the two 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.
Now that the hardware installation is complete, proceed to “Chapter 5: Configuring the Wireless-G
Media Storage Link Router,” for directions on how to configure the Router.

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 in 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
will use these two screens of the Utility:
•
Basic Setup. On the
Basic Setup
screen, enter the settings provided by your ISP.
•
Management. Click the
Administration
tab and then the
Management
tab. The Router’s default password is
admin
. To secure the Router, change the Password from its default.
There are eight main tabs: Setup, Wireless, Security, Storage, Access Restrictions, Applications & Gaming,
Administration, and Status. Additional tabs will be available after you click one of the main tabs.
To access the Web-based Utility, launch Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, and enter the Router’s default IP
address,
192.168.1.1
, in the
Address
field. Then press
Enter
.
A login screen will appear. (Non-Windows XP users will see a similar screen.) Leave the
User Name
field blank.
The first time you open the Web-based Utility, use the default password
admin
. (You can set a new password
from the Administration tab’s
Management
screen.) Then click the
OK
button.
HAVE YOU:
Enabled TCP/IP on your PCs? PCs
communicate over the network with this protocol.
Refer to “Appendix D: Windows Help” for more
information on TCP/IP.
NOTE:
For first-time installation, Linksys
recommends using the Setup Wizard on the Setup
CD-ROM. If you want to configure advanced settings,
use this chapter to learn about the Web-based Utility.
