Step One: Connect Your Modem to the Router

1. Turn off your modem.
2. Locate the Ethernet cable that connects your modem to your computer’s Ethernet adapter, and disconnect it from your computer only: do not disconnect the cable from your modem.
3. Connect the free end of the Ethernet cable to the WAN port on the rear of the router.

Step Two: Connect the Router to Your Computer

1. Connect one end of the supplied Ethernet cable to your computer’s Ethernet adapter.
2. Connect the other end to one of the router’s LAN ports.

Step Three: Power Up the Network

1. Turn on your modem.
2. Connect the supplied power cord to the 9.0 VDC port on the router.
3. Plug the power adapter into a standard power outlet.

Step Four: Configure the Basic Connection Settings

1. Start your Web browser.
2. In the location or address line, type http://192.168.2.1 and press Enter to access the router configuration Web User Interface.
3. In Password, type admin
4. Click Login.

The Setup Wizard leads you through the basic router configuration process. If you are unsure about any connection information required by the wizard, contact your ISP.

For more information about the Setup Wizard's pages, see Setup Wizard in the Configuration section of this guide. For configuration details, see Configuration in this guide.

5. Your wireless network is now open to wireless devices within operating range. To prevent access by unauthorized users, you must apply security to the router.

For security information, and other configuration details, see wireless security in the Configuration section of this guide.

6. (Optional) Make a backup of your new configuration settings:

Having a backup reduces the effort required in reapplying your configuration settings should you ever restore your router to its factory default settings. USRobotics recommends that you back up your settings now.

1. From the Advanced Settings menu, select Maintenance > Configuration Tools.
2. Select Backup Wireless Router Configuration and click Next.
3. Your system will prompt you to save the file. Select Save.
4. Browse to the location at which you want the backup file saved and click Save.

Congratulations. You have successfully completed the installation procedure. Please register your USRobotics 5463 Wireless Router at www.usr.com/productreg.

Connecting a Wireless Device

For your wireless device to connect to the Wireless Router, the wireless adapter in the device must have settings that match those of the router.

1. Ensure that each wireless adapter that will be connected to the network is set to infrastructure mode.
2. Set the SSID in the wireless adapter’s settings to the SSID that is used in the router. The router uses USR5463 as its default SSID.
3. If you set wireless security on the router, ensure that the security settings for the wireless adapter match those that you set on the Wireless Router.
