1 Connect the Cable/DSL 4-Port Router to Your Network The following steps will walk you through connecting the Router, configuring your networked PCs to accept the IP addresses the Router assigns them, and configuring the Router with setting(s) provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). This Quick Installation is meant to help you install the Router quickly and easily. For detailed instructions on installation and configuration and further setup options, please consult the User Guide. Cable/DSL 4-Port Router The installation technician from your ISP should have left the setup information for your modem with you after installing your broadband connection. If not, you can call your ISP to request the data. Once you have the setup information you need for your specific type of Internet connection, you can begin installation and setup of the Router. Important: Network Everywhere strongly recommends that you use the Setup Wizard CD-ROM by inserting the Setup Wizard CD-ROM into your PC’s CD-ROM drive. The Setup Wizard will start automatically. Then follow the Setup Wizard’s instructions to install the Router. However, if you prefer to manually install the Router, then proceed to step A of this Quick Installation.

Make sure that all the devices you’ll be working with are powered down, including your PCs, your cable or DSL modem, and the Router. B. Connect an Ethernet network cable to one of your PCs’ Ethernet ports. This will be the port that connects to the Router. Minimum Requirements • PC with CD-ROM Drive • Network Adapter with Ethernet (UTP CAT 5) Cabling and TCP/IP Protocol Installed per PC • Internet Explorer 4.0 (or Higher) or Netscape Navigator 4.7 (or Higher) for Web-based Configuration • Cable or DSL Modem with Ether net Connection and Internet Access Package Contents (1) Cable/DSL 4-Port Router (2) Power Adapter (3) Setup Wizard CD-ROM with User Guide Not Shown: Registration Card and this Quick Installation C. Connect the other end of the Ethernet network cable to one of the LAN ports on the back of the Cable/DSL Router. Repeat steps A and B for all the PCs you wish to connect to the Router. E F. Plug one end of the power adapter into the Power port located on the back of the Router. F G. Plug the other end of the power adapter into an appropriate power socket.

Connect the network cable from your cable or DSL modem to the Router’s Internet port, and connect your cable or DSL modem to its proper connection. Then power up your modem. H. Turn on the cable or DSL modem. Then turn on the PC. 2 C D. Port 1 can act as the Router’s uplink port. If you are connecting Port 1 of the Router to a hub or switch, press the Uplink pushbutton. If you are connecting Port 1 of the Router to a PC, make sure the Uplink pushbutton has not been pressed. Configure Your PCs to Connect to the Cable/DSL 4-Port Router Before setting up the Router, you will have to configure your PCs to accept the IP addresses provided by the Router. To do this, you will need to configure TCP/IP. These instructions apply only to Windows 95, 98, and Millennium machines. For TCP/IP setup under Windows NT, 2000, and XP, please refer to your Windows manual. Continue to Step 2 now! A. Go to the Network Configuration screen by clicking the Windows Start button, selecting Settings, and selecting the Control Panel. Then doubleclick the Network icon. 3 Now that the Router is connected to your network, and you’ve set up TCP/IP on your PCs, you can begin configuring the Router. B. In the Configuration window, select the TCP/IP protocol line that has been associated with your network card/adapter. If there is no TCP/IP line listed, refer to the User Guide to install the TCP/IP Protocol now. C. Click the Properties button, and choose the IP Address tab. Select Obtain an IP address automatically. Click the OK button. You have completed the client settings. A. Open your web browser and type http://192.168.1.1 into the browser’s Address field. Press the Enter key. B A C F. If you want to use the Router as a DHCP server, choose the DHCP tab, and configure the DHCP settings for your network. DHCP If your ISP supports DHCP, select this default option. Static (Fixed) IP Address If your ISP assigns you a static IP Address, fill in the WAN IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway Address, and DNS fields. PPPoE Enter your user name and password, if applicable. B. An Enter Network Password screen will appear. Leave the User Name field blank, and enter admin (the default password) in the Password field. Then click the OK button. C. The Router’s Setup tab will appear. Based on the setup instructions from your ISP, you may need to provide the Host Name and Domain Name. These fields allow you to supply a host and domain name for the Router and are usually left blank. If requested by your ISP (usually cable ISPs), complete these two fields. The values for the Router’s LAN IP Address and Subnet Mask are shown on the Setup screen. Unless you have specific internal needs, there should be no reason to change these values. For the internal LAN, the default values are as follows. • Device IP Address: 192.168.1.1 • Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 D. The Router supports three WAN Connection Types: DHCP (obtain an IP automatically), Static IP Address, and PPPoE. When you have properly configured the Setup tab, click the Apply button, and then click the Continue button. B D. Click the OK button. Windows may ask for original Windows installation or additional files. Supply them as needed (e.g., D:\win98, D:\win95, c:\windows\options\cabs, etc.). E. Windows will ask you to restart the PC.

When finished making your changes, click the Apply button, and then click the Continue button. F G. Unless you already have a DHCP server on your internal network, choose Enable. By choosing Enable, you will configure the Router to automatically assign IP addresses to each of your PCs. You may enter the number of PCs you plan on networking to the Router in the Number of DHCP Users field. H. Click the Apply button, and then click the Continue button. I. Reset the power on the cable or DSL modem, and then restart the computer so the computer can obtain the Router’s new settings. The installation of the Cable/DSL 4-Port Router is complete. If you wish to further customize its configuration or want additional details, refer to the User Guide on the Setup CD-ROM. C Note: The Setup screen and its available features may vary depending on the WAN Connection Type you select.
