Preparing to Set Up Your Wireless Router

Prepare the following before you set up your router:

• Internet service.

• The configuration information your Internet service provider (ISP) gave you. Depending on

how your Internet account was set up, your may need one or more of these settings for the

wireless router to access the Internet:

– Host and domain names

– Internet login name and password (frequently an e-mail address and password)

– Domain name server (DNS) Addresses

– Fixed or static IP address

Your ISP should have provided you with all the information needed to connect to the Internet.

If you cannot locate this information, you can ask your ISP to provide it.

• For cable modem service, use the computer you first used to set up your Internet service.

• For suggestions about the best location to place your router, see “Optimizing Your Wireless

Connections” on page 2-1.

Two Setup Methods: 1) Smart Wizard Setup 2) Manual Setup

You have two methods available for setting up your wireless router.

• Smart Wizard setup: Click Setup on the CD to use the Smart Wizard.

– This option is the easiest. The wizard guides you through the setup process, automates

many of the steps, and verifies that necessary conditions exist and that steps you perform

have been successfully completed.

– This option requires a PC running Microsoft Windows.

• Manual setup: This option is best if you cannot use the wizard on the CD, are replacing an

existing wireless router, or are technically knowledgeable. Follow the instructions in this

manual to set up your wireless router.

Use the setup option that best suits you.
