Reference Manual for the Model MR814 Wireless Router
2-6 Setting Up the Hardware
Note: Your cable or DSL modem must provide a standard 10BASE-T Ethernet connection for
connection to your network. The router does not support USB modems.
Note: The Ethernet cable supplied by your ISP for connecting to your cable or DSL modem may
be an Ethernet crossover cable rather than a straight-through cable. It is important to use the
existing cable to connect the modem to your router, not to connect your PCs to your router.
Connecting the Power Adapter
To connect the router to the power adapter:
1. Plug the connector of the power adapter into the power adapter outlet on the rear panel of the
router.
2. Plug the other end of the adapter into a standard wall outlet.
3. Verify that the Power LED on the router is lit.
Verifying Power
After connecting the power adapter to the router and a power source, the router powers on
automatically. Complete the following steps to verify that power is correctly applied to the router:
1. When power is first applied, verify that the Power LED comes on.
2. During the first 10 seconds, all LEDs will be tested.
3. After approximately 10 seconds, verify that:
a. The Test LED is not lit.
b. The LAN port LEDs are lit for any local ports that are connected.
c. The Internet port LED is lit.
If a port’s LED is lit, a link has been established to the connected device. If a LAN port is
connected to a 100 Mbps device, verify that the port’s LED is green. If the port is 10 Mbps, the
LED will be amber.
You are now ready to begin configuration of your network, as described in the following chapter.
