The Back Panels
The Router’s ports and Reset button are located on the back panel of the Router.
Reset Button
The Reset button can be used in one of two ways:
If the Router is having problems connecting to the Internet, press the Reset button for
just a second with a paper clip or a pencil tip. This is similar to pressing the Reset
button on your PC to reboot it.
If you are experiencing extreme problems with the Router and have tried all other
troubleshooting measures, press and hold in the Reset button for 10 seconds. This will
restore the factory defaults and clear all of the Router’s settings, such as port
forwarding or a new password.

Chapter 5: Connecting the Router
Overview
To set up your network, you will do the following:
•
Connect the Router to one of your PCs according to the instructions in this chapter.
•
By default, Windows 98, 2000, Millennium, and XP computers are set to obtain an IP address automatically, so
unless you have changed the default setting, then you will not need to configure your PCs. (If you do need to
configure your PCs, refer to Windows Help for more information.)
•
Set up and configure the Router with the setting(s) provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) according
to “Chapter 6: Setting Up and Configuring the Router.”
The installation technician from your ISP should have left the setup information with you after installing your
broadband connection. If not, you can call your ISP to request the information. Once you have the setup
information for your specific type of Internet connection, then you can begin installation and setup of the Router.
