The Router’s Ports
The Router's ports and Reset button are located on the side panel with the antenna port.
Antenna The antenna port is where you will attach the Router’s antenna.
Internet The Internet port is where you will connect your broadband Internet connection, if you are
using broadband WAN service.
Ethernet
1, 2, 3, 4 These ports (1, 2, 3, 4) connect the Router to your PCs and other Ethernet network devices.
Security Bracket The bracket labeled “RESET” clips onto the Router. It covers the Reset button and the security
slot on the Router’s front panel. You can remove the security bracket to access the Reset
button. To protect the Router from theft, you can attach a lock to the Router using the security
slot and bracket.
Reset Button There are two ways to reset the Router's factory defaults. Either press the Reset button, for
approximately five seconds, or restore the defaults from the Administration tab - Factory
Defaults tab in the Router's Web-based Utility.
Power The Power port is where you will connect the power adapter.
IMPORTANT: Resetting the Router will erase
all of your settings (Internet connection,
wireless security, and other settings) and
replace them with the factory defaults. Do not
reset the Router if you want to retain these
settings.
