Before You Begin...

...Read this section. The tips provided here help make the

installation of your Wireless Router go more quickly and easily.

Tip #1—Review the features of your Wireless Router in Getting to

Know Your Wireless Router on page 3.

Tip #2—Record the information listed here and keep it handy

during the installation. You will need this information when you

configure your network:

■ Your Internet (WAN) connection type—DHCP (dynamic),

static, PPPoE, or PPTP. (See the Glossary on page 63 for more

information on each connection type.)

Note: If you don’t have this information available, your ISP

should be able to provide it.

■ If you have a static connection, you may also need the IP

address and MAC address of your modem.

■ If you have a PPPoE connection, you’ll also need your user

name, password, and service name.

■ If you have a PPTP connection, you’ll also need your IP

address, server IP address, subnet mask, and PPTP account

number and password.

■ Your WLAN information (if you have an existing WLAN that

includes any non-Adaptec brand wireless products, or if you

have changed the default settings of your existing Adaptec

wireless products):

■ Wireless Network ID (SSID)

■ Encryption settings

■ Security authentication settings

Note: Use your WLAN configuration utility to find this

information.
