Section 2 - Installation
Before you Begin
This section will walk you through the installation process. Placement of the router is very important. Do not place the
router in an enclosed area such as a closet, cabinet, or in the attic or garage.
• Please congure the router with the computer that was last connected directly to your modem.
• You can only use the Ethernet port on your modem. If you were using the USB connection before using
the router, then you must turn off your modem, disconnect the USB cable and connect an Ethernet cable
to the Ethernet port on the router, and then turn the modem back on. In some cases, you may need to
call your ISP to change connection types (USB to Ethernet).
• If you have DSL and are connecting via PPPoE, make sure you disable or uninstall any PPPoE software
such as WinPoet, Broadjump, or Enternet 300 from your computer or you will not be able to connect to
the Internet.
