Before you can configure the SpeedStream 2614 DSL/Cable Router, the TCP/IP protocol must be installed
on all computers on your network. If you need to install TCP/IP, refer to Chapter 4, “Installing and
Configuring TCP/IP.”
After TCP/IP is installed and configured on your network computers, you can configure the SpeedStream
