The Wireless Access Point Router with 4-Port Switch is
configured by default to work out of the box with all Linksys Wireless
Adapters. If you have changed the defaults on your Linksys Wireless
Adapters, or are using other wireless adapters, you must temporar-
ily change your wireless adapter settings to: (SSID = linksys) in
order to initially access the Router wirelessly. After you have
accessed the Router with the default settings, you can change the
router settings to coincide with your Network settings and reset your
adapters.

Some ISPs—most notably some cable providers—config-
ure their networks so that you do not have to enter a full Internet
address into your web browser or e-mail application to reach your
home page or receive your e-mail. If your Internet home page
address is something very simple, such as “www”, rather than
“www.linksys.com”, or your e-mail server’s address is something sim-
ilar to “e-mail” or “pop3”, rather than “pop.mail.linksys.com”, you
won’t be able to properly configure the Router until you determine the
actual Internet addresses of your Web and e-mail connections.
You
mmuusstt
obtain this information prior to connecting the Router to
your network. You can obtain this information by contacting your ISP.
