This section will guide you through setting up the Asanté 
FriendlyNET router with your Cable/DSL modem. Setting up your 
router requires three basic steps: 
 
1.

Determine the TCP/IP settings for your computer and record 
them in the table provided.  

2.

Set up your hardware. You MUST power up the router FIRST 
after attaching any devices to the router. 

3.

Configure your router. 

 

 
You should already have a working Internet connection using a Ca-
ble/DSL modem. First you must collect the TCP/IP settings from 
your computer and your Internet Service Provider (ISP). This infor-
mation will be used to configure your new router and any additional 
computers you wish to add to your new network. The following sec-
tions explain  how to collect your TCP/IP settings for Macintosh, 
Windows, and Linux platforms. 
 

 
1.

Open your computer’s TCP/IP control panel found under the 
Apple menu.  

2.

For Connect via, verify that either Ethernet built-in or the 
Ethernet adapter installed in your Mac is chosen. 

3.

Complete the information in the Your Settings portion of the 
table below.
