Chapter 4: Connecting the Compact Wireless-G
Broadband Router
Overview
Linksys recommends using the Setup Wizard on the Setup CD-ROM for first-time installation of the Router. For
advanced users, you may follow the instructions in this chapter, and then configure the Router through its Web-
based Utility (refer to “Chapter 5: Configuring the Compact Wireless-G Broadband Router”).
This chapter includes two sets of instructions. If the Compact Wireless-G Broadband Router will be the only router
in your network, follow the instructions in “Hardware Installation for Connection to Your Broadband Modem.” If
you want to install the Compact Wireless-G Broadband Router behind another router in your network, then follow
the instructions in “Hardware Installation for Connection to Another Router.”
Hardware Installation for Connection to your Broadband Modem
1. Power down your network devices.
2. Locate an optimum location for the Router. The best place for the Router is usually at the center of your
wireless network, with line of sight to all of your wireless devices. Normally, the higher you place the
antenna, the better the performance will be.
3. Connect a standard Ethernet network cable from the Router’s Internet port to your broadband modem.
