Step 1: Turn off the modem, and remove the backup battery if it has one.
Step 2: Connect the modem to the WAN port on your router with an Ethernet cable.
Step 3: Turn on the router, and wait for it to start.
Step 4: Turn on the modem.
Configure the Router
1. Connect your computer to the router (Wired or Wireless).
• Wired: Turn off the Wi-Fi on your computer and connect your computer to the router’s LAN port using an Ethernet cable.

Enjoy the internet!
Note: If you have changed the SSID and wireless password during the configuration, use the new SSID and wireless password to join the wireless network.
