v1.0, May 2011
1. Connect the wireless router, the computer, and the modem.
a. Turn off your computer.
b. Turn off and unplug the cable or ADSL broadband modem. If your modem has a backup
battery, remove it as well.
c. Locate the Ethernet cable that connects your computer to the modem.
2. Disconnect the cable from the modem. You will connect it to the router later.
3. Locate the Ethernet cable that came with the NETGEAR product. Securely insert that Ethernet
cable into your modem and into the Internet port of the wireless router.
4. Locate the cable you removed from the modem in step 2. Securely insert that cable (4) into a
LAN port on the router such as LAN port 1.
Your network cables are connected, and you are ready to start your network. It is important that
you start your network in the correct sequence.
To start your network in the correct sequence.
1. First, plug in and turn on the cable or DSL modem (if your modem has a backup battery, plug
it back in). Wait 2 minutes.
2. Now, plug the power cord into your wireless router and into a power outlet. Wait 1 minute.
3. Last, turn on your computer. It might take several minutes for your router to establish a
connection with your computer and your Internet provider.
Failure to start or restart your network in the correct sequence could prevent you
from accessing the Internet.
For DSL customers, if software logs you in to the Internet, do not run that
software. You might need to go to the Internet Explorer Tools menu, select
Internet Options, and then click the Connections tab, where you can select
Never dial a connection.
