Installation

 

The Router provides ports for either a USB or an Ethernet connection to your primary computer. Select 
the interface you will use to connect the Router, and follow the step-by-step instructions below for your 
chosen installation method.  

To connect the SpeedStream Router via the Ethernet interface, your 
computer must have an Ethernet adapter (also called a network interface 
card, or “NIC”) installed.  

If your computer does not have this adapter, install it before proceeding 
further. Refer to your Ethernet adapter documentation for complete 
installation instructions. 

1)  With your computer powered off, connect the Ethernet 

cable to an Ethernet port (1-4) on the Router. 

2)  Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the 

Ethernet port on your computer. 

3)  If desired, use standard 10/100 CAT5 Ethernet cables 

to connect additional computers to the remaining 
Ethernet ports on the Router.  

1)  Connect the DSL cable (resembles a telephone cord) to the DSL port on the Router. 

2)  Plug the other end of the DSL cable into the phone jack. 

1)  Connect the power adapter to the rear of the Router. 

2)  Plug the power adapter into the electrical wall outlet. 

3)  Flip the power switch to power on the SpeedStream Router.  

4)  Power on all connected computers. 

1)  For each active Ethernet connection, the LAN Link LED for the corresponding port number should 

be lit.  

2)  The DSL and Power LEDs should be lit.  

When using the Ethernet installation method, you do not have to install any software. Refer to your 
Internet Service Provider’s instructions for installing their software and/or connecting to the Internet. You 
can now configure the TCP/IP settings as detailed in 

.
