Step 1: Connect Your Modem to the Router

  1. Turn off your PC and your modem.
  2. Locate the serial cable that connects your modem to your PC’s serial port, and disconnect it from the PC only. Do not disconnect the cable from your modem.
  3. Connect the free end of the serial cable to the COM port on the rear of the router.

  1. Connect one end of the supplied Ethernet cable to your PC’s Ethernet adapter.
  2. Connect the other end to one of the router’s LAN ports.
  3. Turn on your modem.

  4. Connect the supplied power cord to the 5.0 VDC port on the router.
  5. Note to UK Users: Replace the plug on power adapter with the UK standard plug that is supplied in your USRobotics package. Apply enough pressure to cause a click and firmly seat the new plug.

  7. Turn on your PC.

Congratulations! You have completed the installation procedure.
