Router Setup Manual

Connecting the Router to the Internet 1-7

v1.0, April 2007

2. Start your network in the correct sequence

a. First, plug in and turn on the cable or DSL modem. Wait 2 minutes.

b. Now, plug the power cord into your router and into a power outlet. Wait 1 minute.

c. Last, turn on your computer.

d. Check the router status lights to verify the following:

• Power: The power light (1) should turn solid blue. If it does not, see “Quick Tips” on

page 2-1.

• Test: The test light (2) should turn solid green when the router is first turned on, then

go off. If after 2 minutes it is still on, see “Quick Tips” on page 2-1.

• Wireless: The Wireless light (3) should be on. The Smart Wizard configuration

assistant sets up the wireless feature of your router.

• Internet: The Internet port light (4) should be lit. If not, make sure the Ethernet cable

is securely attached to the router Internet port and the modem, and the modem is

powered on.

• LAN: A LAN light (5) should be lit. Green indicates your computer is communicating

at 100 Mbps; amber indicates 10 Mbps. If a LAN light is not lit, check that the

Ethernet cable from the computer to the router is securely attached at both ends, and

that the computer is turned on.

Warning: Failure to start or restart your network in the correct sequence could

prevent you from accessing the Internet.

Note: For DSL customers, if software logs you in to the Internet, do not run that

software. You may need to go to the Internet Explorer Tools menu, Internet

Options, Connections tab page where you can select “Never dial a connection.”
