DIR-853
Step 1
Position your DIR-853 near your Internet-connected modem. Keep
the router in an open area for better wireless coverage.
Step 2
Turn off or unplug your modem. Use the included Ethernet cable to
connect your modem to the port labeled INTERNET on the router.
Turn on or plug your modem back in and wait approximately one
minute before proceeding onward.
Step 3
Connect the supplied power adapter to the router and a power
outlet, press the power button, and wait approximately one minute
until the LED indicator on the front of the device changes from
orange to solid blue.
Step 4
If you are configuring the DIR-853 wirelessly from a PC, connect to
a Wi-Fi network printed on the included Wi-Fi Configuration Card.
You can also find the Wi-Fi network names and passwords printed
on the label attached to the bottom your router.
If you are configuring the DIR-853 from a PC with a wired Ethernet
connection, plug one end of an Ethernet cable into the port labeled

on your computer.
