Connecting the Cable/DSL Router to
Your Network
Connecting Your Hardware Together & Booting Up
1. Before you begin, make sure that all of your hardware is powered off,
including the Router, PCs, hubs, switches, and your cable or DSL modem.
2A. If you have the 4 or 8-Port Cable/DSL Router, connect one end of a net-
work cable to one of the LAN ports on the back of the Router, and the other
end into a standard port on a network device, e.g., a PC, print server, hub,
or switch.
A standard port is any port other than the WAN port
and the Uplink port. It's a straight-through port.
Repeat the above step to connect more PCs or network devices to the
Router.
2B. If you are connecting the 1-Port Router to just one PC, plug one end of
a network cable into the Router's LAN port and the other end into the PC's
network adapter. Set the Crossover Switch to straight-through (II).
If you are connecting the 1-Port Router to a hub or switch, plug one
end of a network cable into the Router's LAN port, and the other end into
to a standard port on your network's hub or switch. Set the LAN port's
Crossover Switch to its crossover mode (X).
If your hub or switch has no more standard ports available, connect the
Router using its LAN port to the Uplink port on the hub or switch. Set the
Crossover Switch to straight-through mode (II) for this set-up.
2C. If you have the 3-Port Cable/DSL Router, connect one end of a network
cable from the one of the Router's LAN ports (labeled 1, 2, or 3) to a port
on a PC, hub, switch, or other network device.

Instant Broadband Series
®
EtherFast Cable/DSL Routers
The 3-Port Router features one USB plug-and-play port that connects
instantly to any USB-ready desktop or notebook PC. This allows you to
connect to one PC and access your Router without installing any network
cards. When connecting your PC's USB port to the Router, the Type A end
connects to your PC's USB port, while Type B connects to the Router's USB
port.
3. Connect the network cable from your cable or DSL modem to the WAN
port on your Router's rear panel. This is the only port that will work for
your modem connection.
4. Connect a power adapter to the Power port on the rear panel of the
Router, then plug the power adapter into a power outlet.
It is highly recommended that you plug your Router into a
power strip with surge protection.
• The Power LED on the front panel will light up green as soon as the power
adapter is connected properly.
• The Diag LED will light up red for a few seconds when the Router goes
through its self-diagnostic test. This LED will turn off when the self-test
is complete.
5. Power on your cable or DSL modem.
6. Press the Reset button on the Router's front panel with a paper clip or a
pencil. Hold the button in until the Diag LED lights up and then turns off.
This will restore the Router's factory default settings.
7. Check the Link LEDs for all your connections. If all of the Link LEDs are
not lighting up, make sure that all your cables are securely plugged in, and
that all of your hardware is powered on properly.
The Router's hardware installation is now complete!
If you have the BEFSRU31, continue on to the next section and refer to the
appropriate operating system. To start configuring all other routers,
continue on to the Installing the TCP/IP Protocol section.
