Basic Functions
Note:
If you are using a cable or DSL modem and are experiencing problems connecting
to the Internet, follow these steps:
1. Power off your cable or DSL modem, PC, and the Router.
2. Power on your modem and wait a few minutes until the modem has established a connection with
your ISP.
3. Power on the Router.
4. Power on your PC and attempt to connect to the Internet. For most users, the Router's default
values should be satisfactory. Some users may need to enter additional information in order to
connect to the Internet through their ISP or broadband (cable or DSL) carrier. For example, some
cable providers require a specific MAC address for connection to the Internet. To learn more about this,
click the
Advanced
tab and then the
MAC Address Clone
tab.
