The Back Panel
The Router's ports, where the cables are connected, are located on the back panel.
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 in the Router's Web-based Utility.
Internet The Internet port is where you will connect your broadband Internet connection.
1, 2, 3, 4 These ports (1, 2, 3, 4) connect the Router to PCs on your wired network and other Ethernet
network devices.
Power The Power port is where you will connect the power adapter.
Important: Resetting the Router will erase all
of your settings (WEP Encryption, network
settings, etc.) and replace them with the
factory defaults. Do not reset the Router if you
want to retain these settings.
