Application Diagram

The router is installed near the modem (typically supplied by your ISP “Internet Service Provider”)

and physically connected to it from the router’s Internet port to the modem’s network port which

connects to the Internet. 2.4GHz wireless signals from the router are broadcasted to wireless

clients such as laptops (with wireless capability) and the less congested 5GHz wireless signals from

the router are broadcasted to other wireless client devices such as TVs, game consoles, or media

bridges thereby providing Internet access for all wireless client devices.

Basic Router Setup

Creating a Home Network

What is a network?

A network is a group of computers or devices that can communicate with each other. A

home network of more than one computer or device also typically includes Internet

access, which requires a router.

A typical home network may include multiple computers, a media player/server, a

printer, a modem, and a router. A large home network may also have a switch,

additional routers, access points, and many Internet-capable media devices such as TVs,

game consoles, and Internet cameras.

•

Modem

– Connects a computer or router to the Internet or ISP (Internet Service

Provider).

•

Router

– Connects multiple devices to the Internet.

•

Switch

–Connect several wired network devices to your home network. Your

router has a built-in network switch (the LAN port 1-4). If you have more wired

network devices than available Ethernet ports on your router, you will need an

additional switch to add more wired connections.

How to set up a home network

1. For a network that includes Internet access, you’ll need:

•

Computers/devices with an Ethernet port (also called network port) or wireless

networking capabilities.

•

A modem and Internet service to your home, provided by your ISP (modem

typically supplied by your ISP).

•

A router to connect multiple devices to the Internet.

2. Make sure that your modem is working properly. Your modem is often provided by

your Internet Service Provider (ISP) when you sign up for Internet service. If your

modem is not working contact your ISP to verify functionality.

3. Set up your router. See “How to setup your router” below.

4. To connect additional wired computers or wired network devices to your network,

see “

Connect additional wired devices to your network

” on page 14.

5. To set up wireless security on your router, see “

Wireless Networking and Security

” on

page 15.

How to setup your router

Refer to the Quick Installation Guide or continue to the next section “

Router

Installation

” on page 8 for more detailed installation instructions.
