Note:
The CG814M Gateway incorporates Auto Uplink
TM
technology. Each
LOCAL Ethernet port will automatically sense whether the cable plugged into the port
should have a 'normal' connection (e.g. connecting to a PC) or an 'uplink' connection
(e.g. connecting to a switch or hub). That port will then configure itself to the correct
configuration. This feature also eliminates the need to worry about crossover cables, as
Auto Uplink will accommodate either type of cable to make the right connection.
Note:
The USB connection option is only available for Windows PCs. Also, Windows
95 does not support USB without special operating system upgrades and patches.

match the default settings of the router:
•
The SSID should be
Wireless

The Channel should be set to

When power is first applied, verify that the Power LED comes on.
All the numbered LAN LEDs will be briefly tested.
2.
After approximately 10 seconds, verify that the local Ethernet or USB port LED is lit for the
port that is connected to your computer.
If a port’s LED is lit, a link has been established to the connected device. If a local Ethernet port is
connected to a 100 Mbps device, verify that the port’s LED is green. If the port is 10 Mbps, the
LED should be yellow.
