NSTALLATION

If your ISP allocates IP information dynamically over a protocol other than
PPPoE, you do not need any further information. This configuration is
typical of cable connections.

Powering Up the
Router

To power up the Router:

1 Plug the power adapter into the power adapter socket located on the

back panel of the Router.

2 Plug the power adapter into a standard electrical wall socket.

Connecting the
Router

The first step for installing your Router is to physically connect it to an
RJ11or RJ45 cable, as appropriate, with the splitter and then connect the
Router to a computer in order to be able to access the Internet. See

Figure 5
