ck the LEDs on the router front panel to make sure that the modem router is

lugged into an electrical outlet, its power is on, and the Ethernet cable between your

computer and the router is connected to a LAN port.

2. If you connected th

e Ethernet cable and quickly launched your browser and typed in the

router URL, your computer might need a minute or two to recognize the LAN connection.

Relaunch your browser and try again.

3. If you are having trouble accessing the rout

during setup you use an Ethernet cable to connect your computer so that you can log in to

the wireless modem router.

Note: If you cannot connect to the wireless router, check the Internet

your PC Control Panel. They should be set to obtain both IP and

DNS server addresses automatically.
