 Plug one end of the UTP cable into the WAN port, the other into the RJ45
Ethernet jack on your ADSL or Cable modem.
 Connect a PC, which must have an Ethernet NIC (Network Interface Card)
installed, to one of the LAN Ports.
 Connect the external power supply to the Broadband Wireless Router.
 The Reset button is used to reboot and re-initialize the device (press once
quickly), or for clearing configuration settings back to factory default values
(press for longer than 3 seconds).
 Cascade to Hub/Switch from uplink port (only available for some model) by
using normal UTP cable or from port 1~4 by using cross-over UTP cable to
extend your LAN. If the model doesn’t have uplink port, you can connect to
Hub/Switch from port 1~4 with normal UTP cable because they are auto
detection.
