How to set up your router

setup software.
How to start Linksys Connect

automatically installed onto your computer. You can then use Linksys Connect
to easily manage your router.
NOTE:
If you lose your setup CD, you can download the software from
Linksys.com/support.
To start Linksys Connect for the first time:

and the Setup icon.

the Setup icon.

Use Linksys Connect to manage your router
After your router has been set up and Linksys Connect has been installed, you
can use Linksys Connect to easily manage many of your router’s settings such
as:

How to manually set up your router
After setting up the router with the setup software (located on the CD), the
router will be ready for use. If you would like to change its advanced settings,

access the utility with a web browser on a computer connected to the router.
