Getting to Know Your Wireless Router 6
v1.0, November 2009
What You Need Before You Begin
Prepare the following before you set up your Product Family:
• Internet service.
• The configuration information your Internet Service Provider (ISP) gave you. Depending on
how your Internet account was set up, you might need one or more of these settings for the
wireless router to access the Internet:
— Host and domain names
— Internet login name and password (frequently an e-mail address and password)
— Domain Name Server (DNS) addresses
— Fixed or static IP address
Your ISP should have provided you with all the information needed to connect to the Internet.
If you cannot locate this information, you can ask your ISP to provide it.
• For cable modem service, use the computer you first used to set up your Internet service.
