Setting up your wireless route

To connect your router (step 1):
1 Turn off the power to your modem by unplugging the power supply from the modem.
2 Locate the network cable that is connected between your modem and your computer
and unplug it from your computer, leaving the other end connected to your modem.
3 Plug the loose end of the cable you just unplugged into the port on the back of the
router labeled Modem.
4 Connect a new network cable (not included) from the back of the computer to one of
the wired computer ports labeled 1-4. Note: It does not matter which numbered port
you choose.
5 Turn your cable or DSL modem on by reconnecting the power supply to the modem.
6 Plug the power cord into the wall, then plug the cord into the router's power jack.
7 Make sure that your modem is connected to the router by checking the lights on the
front of the router. The green light labeled Modem should be on if your modem is
connected correctly to the router. If it is not, recheck your connections.
8 Make sure that your computer is connected properly to the router by checking the
lights labeled 1-4. The light that corresponds to the numbered port connected to your
computer should be on if your computer is connected properly. If it is not, recheck your
connections.
