3. Connect the network cable from your cable or DSL modem to the WAN
port on your Router’s rear panel. This is the only port that will work for your
modem connection.
4. Connect the power adapter to the Power port on the rear panel of the
Router, and then plug the power adapter into a power outlet.
• The Power LED on the front panel will light up green as soon as the power
adapter is connected properly.
• The Diag LED will light up red for a few seconds when the Router goes
through its self-diagnostic test. This LED will turn off when the self-test is
complete.
5. Power on the cable or DSL modem.
6. Press the Reset button on the Router’s front panel with a paper clip or a
pencil. Hold the button in until the Diag LED lights up and then turns off.
This will restore the Router’s factory default settings.
The Router’s hardware installation is now complete.
Note: It is highly recommended that you plug your Router’s
power adapter into a power strip with surge protection.
1. Before you begin, make sure that all of your hardware is powered off,
including your Router, PCs, hubs, switches, and the cable or DSL modem.
2. A. If you have the 4-Port Cable/DSL Router, connect one end of a network
cable to one of the LAN ports (labeled 1, 2, 3, or 4) on the back of the
Router, and the other end into a standard port on a network device, e.g., a PC,
print server, hub, or switch. See “Appendix E: Twisted-Pair Cabling” for
details on network cabling.
Repeat the above step to connect more PCs or network devices to the Router.
2. B. If you have the 1-Port Router, connect one end of a network cable to
the LAN port on the back of the Router, and the other end into a port on a
network device, e.g., a PC, hub, or switch. If you are using Port 4 to connect
to a PC, set the Crossover switch to straight-through mode ( || ). If you are
connecting the Router to a hub or switch, please refer to the chart shown in
Figure 5-1 when setting the Crossover Switch.
2. C. If you have the 3-Port Cable/DSL Router, connect one end of a net-
work cable from the Router’s LAN ports (labeled 1, 2, or 3) to a network
adapter port on a PC, hub, switch, or other network device.
The 3-Port Router features one USB plug-and-play port that connects
instantly to any USB-ready PC or USB hub. This allows you to connect to
and access your Router without even installing any network adapter cards.
Note: A standard port is any port other than the WAN port and
the Uplink port on the Router. It’s a straight-through port.
Connecting Your Hardware Together and Booting Up
Have you checked that the Link/Act LEDs for all your LAN con-
nections and the Link LED for your WAN connection light up?
If all of your Link LEDs are not lighting up, make sure that all your
cables are securely plugged in, and that all of your hardware is pow-
ered on properly.
