Connecting Your Wireless Router

Before you install your wireless router, make sure that the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Property
settings on your computer are set to "automatically obtain an IP address" using DHCP and "Obtain
DNS server address automatically." You can check these settings by looking at the TCP/IP
Properties of your Internal Network Connections, which are accessible through the Control Panel
of your computer. If you are unsure about this, refer to the documentation for your computer or see
the link to TCP/IP Addressing in
If you are replacing an existing router, disconnect it completely from your network
and set it aside before starting to install your new router.

Turn off and unplug the cable or DSL broadband modem.
2.
Locate the Ethernet cable (A) that connects your computer to the modem.
