2. RESTART YOUR NETWORK IN THE CORRECT SEQUENCE
Warning: Failure to restart your network in the correct sequence could prevent you from
connecting to the Internet.
a. First, turn on the broadband modem and wait 2 minutes.
b. Now, turn on your computer.
Note: For DSL customers, if software logs you in to the Internet, do not run that software. You
may need to go to the Internet Explorer Tools menu, Internet Options, Connections tab page
where you can select “Never dial a connection.”

minutes it is still on, see “Troubleshooting Tips” on page 3-8.
• Internet: The Internet port light should be lit. If not, make sure the Ethernet cable is
securely attached to the wireless router Internet port and the modem, and the modem
is powered on.
