If you are connecting your PC with an Ethernet cable to the router,
your PC must be installed first with an Ethernet adapter.
You need two Ethernet cables for this procedure, one cable to connect the router to
the modem and one cable to connect a PC to the router.
1
If you have been running broadband to a single computer before,
unplug the Ethernet cable (that runs between your modem and
PC) from the back of your PC and plug it into the port labeled
WAN on the back of your router.
2
If you have not been running broadband to a single computer,
take one end of an Ethernet cable and plug it into the WAN port.
The WAN port is the only port that works for your connection from
the modem to the router.
3
Take the other end of the same cable and plug it into your cable
or DSL modem. You have now connected the router to the
modem. It may be necessary to restart your cable or DSL modem
after making this connection.
4
To connect the PC to the router, use a different Ethernet cable
and plug it into your Ethernet port on your PC.
5
Use the other end of the same cable and plug it into one of the
LAN ports on your router. You have now connected your PC to
the router.
6
To connect more devices, repeat steps 4 and 5.
7
To configure the router, refer to
Section 3: Configuration
.

SECTION 2, INSTALLATION
Wireless Connection to Router
WARNING!
Initial configuration of the router with a wireless
connection is NOT secure and is not recommended by
Motorola. If at all possible, for an initial configuration, use
an Ethernet cable to connect to the router.
If you are connecting your client (most likely a PC) wirelessly to the
router, you can use the Motorola WPCI810G, a wireless PCI card for
your desktop PC. If you have a laptop, the Motorola WN825G
wireless PC card provides access.
Note:
The WN825G/WPCI810G is not supported under Windows 95, 98, nor NT.
To connect the router to the modem, you need at least one Ethernet cable.

now connected the router to the modem. It may be necessary to
restart your cable or DSL modem after making this connection.

network setting to automatically obtain an IP address. This section
includes information on configuring computers with the following
operating systems:
!
Windows 98SE
!
Windows ME
!
Windows 2000
