Installing the Router
Your model number is 8004. It is very important that you have your serial number written down before you install the Broadband Router. You can find your serial number on the bottom label of the Broadband Router and on the side of the package. If you ever need to call our Technical Support department, you will need this number to receive assistance.
1. Connect your modem to the router
• Turn off your computer and your modem.
• Locate the Ethernet cable that connects your modem to your computer’s Ethernet adapter, and disconnect the cable from the computer only. Do not disconnect the cable from your modem.
• Connect the free end of the Ethernet cable to the WAN port on the rear of the router.
2. Connect your Broadband Router to your computer and power supply
• Connect one end of the included Ethernet cable to your computer’s Ethernet adapter.
• Connect the other end to one of the LAN ports on the Broadband Router.
• Turn on your cable or DSL modem.
• Connect the included power cord to the power jack on the Broadband Router.
• Plug the power cord into a standard power outlet.
• Turn on your computer.
Note to UK Users: Replace the plug on the power adapter with the UK standard plug that is supplied in your U.S. Robotics package. Apply enough pressure to cause a click and firmly seat the new plug.
3. Configure the basic connection settings
Note for Windows Me and XP users: If Universal Plug and Play launches, follow the on-screen instructions instead of the first two steps below, then start with the third step by clicking Log in.
• Launch a Web browser.
• In the location or address line of your Web browser, type http://192.168.123.254 to access the Web User Interface.
• There is no default password for the Broadband Router, so just click Log in.
• Select Primary Setup from the menu, and then click Change.
• Select your WAN type. Depending on your WAN type, you may need to supply some connection information. When you are finished, click Save.
Note: Refer to Configuring the Router for more detailed configuration information. Contact your ISP if you have any questions about your WAN type or your connection information.
