The Wireless Access Point Routers Ports TThhee RReesseett BBuuttttoonn Instant WirelessTM Series Wireless Access Point Router with 4-Port Switch Pressing the Reset Button and holding it in for a few seconds will clear all of the Routers data and restore the factory defaults. This should be done only if you are experiencing heavy routing problems, and only after you have exhausted all of the other troubleshooting options. By resetting the Router, you run the risk of creating conflicts between your PCs actual IP Addresses and what the Router thinks their IPAddresses should be. You may be forced to reboot each network PC. If the Router locks up, simply press the reset button or power it down for three to five seconds by removing the power cable from the Routers Power Port. Leaving the power off for too long could result in the loss of network connections. The Wireless Access Point Routers LEDs The LAN Indicators Figure 1-2 WLAN Act Green. This LED indicates wireless activity. WLAN Link Green. This LED indicates that the Routers wireless func-

tions have been enabled through the Web-based utility. Power Green. This LED indicates that the Routers power is on. Link/Act Green. This LED serves two purposes. When this LED is lit continuously, this indicates that the Router is connected to a device through the corresponding port (1, 2, 3, or 4). A blink-

ing LED indicates that the Router is actively sending or receiving data over that port. When the Uplink Port is in use, the LED for Port 4 will be lit continuously. 6 Figure 1-1 The Routers rear panel (as shown in Figure 1-1) is where all of its connections are made. WAN Ports 1-4 Uplink The WAN (Wide Area Network) Port is where you will con-

nect your cable or DSL modem with an Ethernet cable. Your modem connection will not work from any other port. These four LAN (Local Area Network) ports are where you will connect networked devices, such as PCs, print servers, and any other Ethernet devices you want to put on your net-

work. If Port 4 is being used, the Uplink Port will not work. The Uplink Port is where you can expand your network by connecting to another switch or hub. Uplinking to another switch or a hub is done by simply running a cable from the Uplink Port to the other device. The Uplink Port is shared with Port 4. If the Uplink port is being used, Port 4 will not work. Power The Power Port is where you will connect the included AC Power adapter.

This LED indicates the Routers self-diagnosis mode during boot-up and restart. It will turn off upon completing the diagnosis. If this LED stays on for an abnormally long period of time, refer to the Troubleshooting Appendix. Chapter 2: Connecting the Router Before You Start Before plugging everything together, its always a good idea to have everything youll need to get the Router up and running. Depending upon how you config-

ure the Router in Chapter 4: Configuring the Router, you may need some of the following values from your ISP:

When connecting through a Static IP connection, be sure to have 1) Your broadband-configured PCs fixed Internet IP Address, 2) Your broadband-

configured PCs Computer Name and Workgroup Name, 3) Your Subnet Mask, 4) Your Default Gateway, and 5) Your Primary DNS IP address. When connecting through a PPPoE connection, be sure to have 1) Your PPPoE User Name and 2) Your PPPoE Password. The installation technician from your ISP should have left this information with you after installing your broadband connection. If not, you can call your ISP to request the data. Once you have the above values, you can begin the Routers installation and setup. Connecting Your Hardware Together and Booting Up Once you are sure that you have the above values on hand, you can begin the Installation and Setup of the Router. 1. Power everything down, including your PCs, your cable or DSL modem and the Router. 2. Connect an Ethernet cable from one of your PCs Ethernet ports to one of the Routers LAN ports (as shown in Figure 2-

1). Do the same with all the PCs you wish to connect to the Router. (LAN Port 4 will become inactive if you use the Uplink port.) In addition to accessing the Router through an Ethernet connection, a wireless connec-

Figure 2-1 7 8 Instant WirelessTM Series Wireless Access Point Router with 4-Port Switch tion can be used to access the Router. See the For Wireless Connections section that follows these connection instructions. 3. Connect another Ethernet cable from your cable or DSL modem to the Routers WAN port (as shown in Figure 2-2). In addition to accessing the Router through an For Wireless Connections:

Ethernet connection, a wireless connection can be used to access the Router. After powering on the Router and connecting it to your modem, enter the Routers IP Address in the Address field of your wireless PCs web-browser as follows: http://192.168.1.1 and press Enter. IImmppoorrttaanntt:: The Wireless Access PointRouter with 4-Port Switch is configured by default to work out of the box with all Linksys Wireless Adapters. If you have changed the defaults on your Linksys Wireless Adapters, or are using other wireless adapters, you must temporar-

ily change your wireless adapter settings to: (SSID = linksys) in order to initially access the Router wirelessly. After you have accessed the Router with the default settings, you can change the router settings to coincide with your Network settings and reset your adapters. IImmppoorrttaanntt:: Some ISPsmost notably some cable providersconfig-

ure their networks so that you do not have to enter a full Internet address into your web browser or e-mail application to reach your home page or receive your e-mail. If your Internet home page address is something very simple, such as www, rather than www.linksys.com, or your e-mail servers address is something sim-

ilar to e-mail or pop3, rather than pop.mail.linksys.com, you wont be able to properly configure the Router until you determine the actual Internet addresses of your Web and e-mail connections. You mmuusstt obtain this information prior to connecting the Router to your network. You can obtain this information by contacting your ISP. 4. Connect the Power Adapter (included) to the Routers Power port (as shown in Figure 2-3) and plug the other end into a power outlet. Figure 2-2

The Power LED will illuminate green as soon as the power adapter is con-

nected.

The Diag LED will illuminate red for a few seconds while the Router goes through its internal diagnostic test. The LED will turn off when the self-test is complete. 5. Power on the cable or DSL modem. Verify Figure 2-3 that the power is on by checking the Link LED in the WAN column on the front of the Router. The Link LED will be illuminated if the power is on and the modem is ready. 6. Press the Reset button on the back of the Router. Hold the button in for three seconds, or until the Diag LED illuminates red. This restores the Routers default settings. 7. Power on your PC. The Router is now connected. Continue to the next chapter to configure your PCs. 9 10

Instant WirelessTM Series Wireless Access Point Router with 4-Port Switch Chapter 3: Configuring the PCs Overview These instructions will help you configure each of your computers to commu-

nicate with the Router. To do this, you will need to configure your PCs network settings to obtain an IP (or TCP/IP) address automatically. Computers use IP addresses to commu-

nicate with each other across a network or the Internet. You will need to know which operating system your computer is running, such as Windows 95, 98, Millennium, 2000, or XP. You can find out by clicking the Start button and then selecting the Settings option. (If your Start menu does-

nt have a Settings option, youre running Windows XP. You can select the Control Panel directly from the Start Menu.) Then, click Control Panel and double-click the System icon. Click the Cancel button when done. Once you know which Windows operating system you are running, follow the directions in this step for your computers operating system. If you PC is not configured with the TCP/IP protocol, you will need to do this for each com-

puter you are connecting to the Router. The next few pages tell you, step by step, how to configure your TCP/IP set-

tings based on the type of Windows operating system you are using. Once you've configured your computers, continue to Chapter 4: Configuring the Router.
