Chapter 2 Connect the Hardware
2. 1. Position Your Router
The product should not be located in a place where it will be exposed to moisture or
excessive heat.
Place the router in a location where it can be connected to multiple devices as well as
to a power source.
Make sure the cables and power cord are safely placed out of the way so they do not
create a tripping hazard.
The router can be placed on a shelf or desktop.
Keep the router away from devices with strong electromagnetic interference, such as
Bluetooth devices, cordless phones and microwaves.
2. 2. Connect Your Router
Before you start, turn off your modem, if any, and remove the backup battery if it has
one. Then place the router horizontally and orient the antennas vertically.
Note: If you already have a router and want to configure this new router as an access point to extend your network,
refer to Set Up the Router as an Access Point.
Follow the steps below to connect your router.
If your internet connection is through an Ethernet cable directly from the wall instead
of through a DSL / Cable / Satellite modem, connect the Ethernet cable to the router’s
Internet port, and then follow steps 4 and 5 to complete the hardware connection.
1. Turn off the modem, and remove the backup battery if it has one.
2. Connect the modem to the router’s Internet port with an Ethernet cable.
3. Turn on the modem, and then wait about 2 minutes for it to restart.
