Installing the Router
RAC2V1A Router User Guide 11
1. Reset button: resets the router as if you power cycled the unit. Use a
pointed non-metallic object to press this button and hold it for more
than one second but less than five seconds.
Note: If you hold the Reset button for more than five seconds, the
router will be reset to the factory default settings and will restart. Do
not
perform a factory reset unless you expressly guided to do so by
Spectrum customer service.
2. WPS Button: begins associating the router with a wireless device.
3. Ethernet (1 - 4): connectors for use with a computer LAN port or
another Ethernet-connected device.
4. Internet: connector to the Spectrum modem.
5. USB: USB host connector for use with external USB devices.
6. Power: connector for the power cord.
Note: The LEDs beside each Ethernet (1 – 4) port and the Internet port
appear green if the port is connected at 1Gbps or amber if the port is
connected at 10Mbps/100Mbps. The LEDs flash while data is being
transferred, or they appear solid when data is not currently being
transferred.
Selecting an Installation Location
There are a number of factors to consider when choosing a location to
install the router:
• Is an AC outlet available nearby? For best results, the outlet should
not be switched and should be close enough to the router that
extension cords are not required.
• Is the modem nearby? Can you easily run cables between the router’s
location and the modem?
• If you are connecting devices to the Ethernet ports, can you easily
run cables between the router’s location and those devices?
• If you want to install the router on a desktop, is there enough space
on either side to keep the vents clear? Blocking the vents may cause
overheating.
