How to install your router
To install your router:
1. If replacing an existing router, disconnect it. Power on your new router.
2. Connect the Internet cable from your modem to the yellow Internet port
on your router. Wait until the power light on the front of the router is
solid.
3. Connect to the secure wireless name shown in the Quick Start Guide that
came with your router. (You can change the network name and password
later during router setup.) If you need help connecting to the network,
refer to your device documentation CD. Note: You will not have Internet
access until router setup is complete.
4. Open a web browser and follow the instructions to complete your
router's setup. If instructions do not appear in the web browser, enter
linksyssmartwifi.com in the browser's address bar.
