Connecting and Configuring your Router
14
Verify the contents of your box. You should have the following:
• Wireless G Router
• Quick Installation Guide
• MyEssentials Quick Installation Software CD with User Manual
• RJ45 Ethernet Networking Cable (for connection of the Router
to the computer)
• Power Supply
Modem Requirements
Your DSL or cable modem must be equipped with an RJ45 Ethernet port.
Many modems have both an RJ45 Ethernet port and a USB connection.
If you have a modem with both Ethernet and USB, and are using the USB
connection at this time, you will be instructed to use the RJ45 Ethernet
port during the installation procedure. If your modem has only a USB port,
you can request a different type of modem from your ISP, or you can, in
some cases, purchase a modem that has an RJ45 Ethernet port on it.
ALWAYS INSTALL YOUR ROUTER FIRST! IF YOU ARE INSTALLING
NUMEROUS NETWORK DEVICES FOR THE FIRST TIME, IT IS
IMPORTANT THAT YOUR ROUTER IS CONNECTED AND RUNNING
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL OTHER NETWORK COMPONENTS
SUCH AS NOTEBOOK CARDS AND DESKTOP CARDS.
Quick Installation Software
MyEssentials has provided our Quick Installation Software to make
installing your Router a simple and easy task. You can use it to get
your Router up and running in minutes.
The Quick Installation Software requires that your Windows 98SE, Me,
2000, XP, or Mac OS X v10.1.x computer be connected directly to your
DSL or cable modem and that the Internet connection is active and
working at the time of installation. If it is not, you must use the “Alternate
Setup Method” section of this User Manual to configure your Router.
Additionally, if you are using an operating system other than Windows
98SE, Me, 2000, or XP, you must set up the Router using the “Alternate
Setup Method” section of this User Manual.
IMPORTANT: Run the Quick Installation Software from the computer that
is directly connected to the DSL or cable modem. DO NOT CONNECT
THE ROUTER AT THIS TIME.
