Getting to Know Your Wireless Router 7
• Manual Setup: If you cannot or prefer not to use the Smart Wizard EZ SETUP Installation
Assistant, see “Manually Installing Your Router” on page 10. For example, if you are
connecting to a Mac, are using a Linux operating system, or are technically knowledgeable,
select this option. If you choose to use this option and install your router manually, for best
results, install and set up your router in this order:
1. Install and connect your wireless router to your network (see “Connecting Your Wireless-
N Router” on page 11).
2. Set up your wireless router for Internet access (see “Setting Up Your Router for Internet
Access” on page 15).
3. Configure your wireless network and select wireless security settings to protect your
wireless network (see “Configuring Your Wireless Network” on page 19).
