Note: The MR814v2 router incorporates Auto Uplink TM technology. Each LOCAL
Ethernet port will automatically sense if the cable should have a normal connection or an
uplink connection. This feature eliminates the need to worry about crossover cables
because Auto Uplink will make the right connection either type of cable.
e. Now, turn on your computer. If software usually logs you in to your Internet connection,
do not run that software or cancel it if it starts automatically.
