Section 2 - Installation

Before you Begin

This section will walk you through the installation process. Placement of the router is very important. Do not place the router

in an enclosed area such as a closet, cabinet, or in the attic or garage.

• Please configure the router with the computer that was last connected directly to your modem.

• You can only use the Ethernet port or 3G adapter. If you were using an USB broadband modem before using

the router, then you must turn off your modem, disconnect the USB cable and connect an Ethernet cable to the

Ethernet port on the router, and then turn the modem back on. In some cases, you may need to call your ISP to

change connection types (USB to Ethernet).

• If you have DSL and are connecting via PPPoE, make sure you disable or uninstall any PPPoE software such as

WinPoet, Broadjump, or Enternet 300 from your computer or you will not be able to connect to the Internet.
