Let’s get started First connect the MR1700’s yellow Ethernet cable between the MR1700’s WAN port and the Ethernet port of a cable modem, DSL modem, fiber optic modem, or an in-building network used for Internet access. If you are using a modem, turn it off now. For some modems, this requires you to remove the power backup battery. After the modem is off for at least 10 seconds, turn it back on. (If it has a backup battery, replace that first.
Connect Your Devices Wireless You can connect wirelessly by using the Wi-Fi SSID/Network Name and Wi-Fi Password/Key printed on the label on the bottom of the MR1700 router. Wired You can also connect your computer, game station, or other device with an Ethernet cable between the computer and one of the Ethernet LAN jacks on the router. Try to browse the Web using a device connected via Ethernet or Wi-Fi to the MR1700. If browsing works, Congratulations! Your MR1700 is working.
Configuration Manager You may not need to use the Configuration Manager. Here are some reasons for using it: You want to change the wireless router setup. For instance, maybe you’re replacing a router and want to use your existing Wi-Fi SSID/Network Name and/or Wi-Fi Password/Key instead of the unique ones that come with the MR1700. You want to set up special Internet gaming settings. You want to set up parental controls to control when children or other users can access the Internet.
Improving Wireless Performance As noted before, the MR1700 has a unique Wi-Fi SSID/Network Name and Wi-Fi Password/Security Key printed on the MR1700’s bottom label. If you don’t change these, you should set up your wireless devices to work with this SSID and password. Note that wireless performance depends on a number of factors. Please keep these things in mind: Where possible, put the MR1700 in a central place so that it’s not too far away from your other wireless devices.
Back Panel POWER Connect the supplied power cube between the power jack and an electrical outlet. WAN Connect your modem or in-building network to the WAN port with an Ethernet cable. ETHERNET (LAN 1, 2, 3, 4) You can connect a computer, HDTV, game station, or other Ethernetcapable device to any of these 4 LAN ports. RESET Press the reset button for 8 seconds in the unlikely event that you need to reset your modem to factory defaults.
Troubleshooting Tips Why can’t I connect to the Internet after installing my router? Check that the power cube jack is correctly plugged into the router and that that the power cube is plugged into a live outlet. Verify that the cable between the router and modem (or Ethernet jack if connecting to an in-building network) is plugged into the router’s WAN jack. If you’re using a modem, check that it’s powered up and connected to the Internet.
What if I don’t know my MR1700’s Wi-Fi SSID/Network Name or Wi-Fi Password/Key? The default values are printed on the bottom label. Use these unless you changed them. If you changed them, and you have a device that connects wirelessly to the MR1700, it may show the Wi-Fi SSID/Network Name and Wi-Fi Password/Key. You can also find this information in the MR1700 Configuration Manager. Information about using this is in the Configuration Manager section above.
