6 Cisco RV132W ADSL2+ Wireless-N VPN Router Quick Start Guide
Connecting the Cisco RV132W
NOTE  You must connect one PC with an Ethernet cable for the purpose of 
the initial configuration. After you complete the initial configuration, 
administrative tasks can be performed using a wireless connection.
STEP 1 Power off all equipment, including the cable or DSL modem, the 
PC, and the Cisco RV132W.
STEP 2 For an Ethernet WAN connection, connect one end of the Ethernet 
cable to your Internet access device (typically a modem), and 
connect the other end of the cable to the WAN port.
For an ADSL connection, connect your DSL cable directly to the 
ADSL port on the device. If required by your Service Provider, 
make sure that you use an ADSL splitter.
For a 3G/4G WAN connection, connect the 3G/4G USB dongle into 
the USB port. Then, the firewall router will detect the 3G/4G dongle 
and subscribe to the ISP network.
Note: This application must use the specific 3G/4G dongle which is 
supported by the router. The 3G/4G SIM card must be configured 
with the user defined PIN code. 
STEP 3 Connect another Ethernet cable from one of the LAN (Ethernet) 
ports to the Ethernet port on the PC.
STEP 4 Power on the cable or DSL modem and wait until the connection is 
active.
STEP 5 Connect the power adapter to the device’s POWER port.
CAUTION Use only the power adapter that is supplied with the unit. 
Using a different power adapter could damage the device.
The POWER button is on by default. The power light on the front 
panel is solid green when the power adapter is connected 
properly and the device is finished booting.
STEP 6 Plug the other end of the adapter into an electrical outlet. Use the 
plug (supplied) that is specific to your country.
STEP 7 Continue with the instructions in the Using the Setup Wizard to 
configure the device.
