Getting Started

By this point, you should have completed the following:

Connected the router.

Verified that the TCP/IP protocol is installed on all computers in your network. (If you need to install
TCP/IP, refer to your system documentation or Windows Help.)

Configured the network settings on those computers.

You can now easily configure the SpeedStream router from the convenient Web-based management
interface. From your Web browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, versions 4.0 or
above), you will log in to the interface to define system parameters, change password settings, view status
screens to monitor network conditions, and control the router and its ports.
