Getting to Know Your Wireless Router 2
To prepare your router for installation:
1. Carefully peel off any protective film covering the sides of your router.
2. Place your router in a suitable area for installation (near an AC power outlet and accessible to
the Ethernet cables for your wired computers).
Hardware Features
Before you install and connect your router, take a moment to become familiar with the front and
back panels of the router—especially the status lights on the front panel.
Front Panel
The router front panel, shown in Figure 1, contains status lights. (For more information on
interpreting the status lights, see “Verifying Your Connection” on page 15 and “Checking Basic
Router Functions” on page 25.)
