Introduction This chapter will guide you through a basic installation of the Gateway,
including:
■ Connecting the Gateway to the Internet.
■ Connecting the Gateway to your network.
■ Setting up your computers for networking with the Gateway.
Safety Information
WARNING: Please read the “Safety Information”
section in Appendix D
before you start.
VORSICHT: Bitte lesen Sie den Abschnitt “Wichtige Sicherheitshinweise”
sorgfältig durch, bevor Sie das Gerät einschalten.
AVERTISSEMENT: Veuillez lire attentivement la section “Consignes

Positioning the
Gateway
You should place the Gateway in a location that:
■ is conveniently located for connection to the cable or DSL modem that
will be used to connect to the Internet.
■ is centrally located to the wireless computers that will connect to the
Gateway. A suitable location might be on top of a high shelf or similar
furniture to optimize wireless connections to computers in both
horizontal and vertical directions, allowing wider coverage.
■ allows convenient connection to the computers that will be connected
to the four LAN ports on the rear panel, if desired.
■ allows easy viewing of the front panel LED indicator lights, and access
to the rear panel connectors, if necessary.
