Connecting your router to your Cable/DSL modem

To connect your router to your Cable/DSL modem, follow these instructions:

1. Start by unpluging the modem from the back of your computer.

2. Using the same cable attach it to the WAN port of the router.

3. Then use a separate cable and connect that to your network card in your computer.

4. Then take the other end and input that into any port of the router other than WAN/or uplink, (Note if there is anything in the uplink port the port next to it will not work) now restart your computer.

5. While the computer is restarting locate and hold the reset button located on the front or back of the router (You may need a paper clip to do this) for 30 seconds. (Warning this causes all settings to be restored to factory defaults. This is always a good procedure to follow when first hooking up your router)

6. Please proceed to the "Configuring your router" section.

Configuring your router
