D

If you have a second phone 

line, repeat step C to connect 

a telephone or fax machine to 

the Router’s PHONE 2 port.

E

Connect your cable or DSL 

modem’s Ethernet cable to 

the Router’s Internet port. (If 

your modem only provides a 

USB output, then you will need 

to upgrade your modem.)

F

Power on the cable or DSL 

modem.

G

Connect the included power 

adapter to the Router’s Power 

port, and then plug the power 

adapter into an electrical 

outlet. 

The Power LED on the front 

panel will light up as soon as 

the power adapter is 

connected properly.

H

Power on the PC you wish to 

use to configure the Router.

In Step 2, you will need the setup 

instructions provided by your Internet 

Service Provider (ISP). If you do not 

have this information, then contact 

your ISP before proceeding.

The instructions from your ISP tell you 

how to set up your PC for Internet 

access. Because you are now using 

the Router to share Internet access 

among several computers, you will 

use the setup information to 

configure the Router instead of 

your PC.

A

Open your PC’s web browser. 

Enter http://192.168.15.1 (the 

Router’s default local IP 

address) in the web browser’s 

Address field. Then press the 

Enter key.

B

A screen will appear and ask 

you for a User Name and 

Password. Enter admin (the 

default) in the User Name and 

Password fields. (Later you 

should set a new password 

using the Administration tab’s 

Management screen. This will 

help secure access to the 

Web-based Utility.) 

Then click the OK button.

A

Make sure that all of your 

hardware is powered off, 

including the Router, PCs, and 

cable or DSL modem.

B

Connect one end of an 

Ethernet network cable to one 

of the numbered ports on the 

back of the Router. Connect 

the other end to an Ethernet 

port on a network device, e.g., 

a PC, print server, or switch.

Repeat this step to connect 

more PCs or other network 

devices to the Router.

C

If necessary, disconnect the 

telephone cable from the 

telephone wall jack and 

connect that end to the  

telephone jack adapter. Then 

connect the adapter to the 

Router’s PHONE 1 port. 

NOTE: Make sure your PC’s 
Ethernet adapter is set to obtain 
an IP address automatically. For 
more information, refer to 
Windows Help.

There are two ways to configure the Router. Choose one of the following:

• Run the Setup CD-ROM - It is strongly recommended that you use the 

Setup CD-ROM. Insert the Setup CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive, and 

follow the on-screen instructions.

 •Use this Quick Installation guide - If you wish, you can use the Router’s 

Web-based Utility. Proceed to Step 1 of this Quick Installation.
