User manual

Overview
This User Manual provides instructions for connecting and configuring your Cable Modem/Router
with Wireless-N and setting up wireless and wired local area networks. It also includes details about
security, firewalls, VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) and administrative tasks.
If you have used the Quick Start flyer to set up your cable modem/router, establish an Internet
connection, and set up your local area network, you may choose to reference this User Manual for
advanced topics or to make changes to the settings you previously configured. If you haven’t
successfully set up your cable modem/router using the Quick Start, start with this manual’s
Chapter
1: Installing the Cable Modem/Router with Wireless-N.
You can find Tips for setting up computers and other devices on a wireless network in
Appendix A:
Tips for setting up computers and other devices on a wireless network. This appendix
supplements chapter 1.
If you want to make changes to the default WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK security settings, please refer to
Chapter 2: Setting Wireless Security.
If you are like most users, you don’t need to read other chapters in this manual. You do want to read
other chapters if you are a network administrator or if you are using the Cable Modem/Router with
Wireless-N for gaming or something else that requires special settings.
You can skip to specific sections of this User Manual based on your intended use of the Cable
Modem/Router with Wireless-N. Each of the menu options in your Configuration Manager is
covered as a separate chapter in the remaining portion of the User Manual. Refer to the chart on the
next page to go to a specific menu option.
