modem, and the router. To achieve maximum wireless coverage, tilt the router’s
antennas outward at 45° angle.

Step 1

Connect one end of a network cable to the WAN port of the router and connect

the other end of the cable to the DSL/Cable modem.

Step 2

With another network cable, connect one end of the cable to your computer’s

network card and connect the other end to one of the LAN ports of the router.

Step 3

Power on the DSL/Cable modem and wait for the lights on the modem to settle

down.

Step 4

Power on the router by connecting one end of the supplied power adapter to the

power jack of the router and connecting the other end to an electrical outlet.

Step 5

Power on your computer.

Step 6

Make sure the WAN, WLAN, and the LAN ports that the computer is connected

to are lit. If not, try the above steps again.
