The U.S. Robotics Broadband Router can easily be connected to any Ethernet-based Cable modem or DSL modem, or an RS-232 based analogue or ISDN modem. You can verify compatibility by checking to see if your Cable or DSL modem is connected to the network adapter in your computer using an Ethernet cable. If you have an analogue or ISDN Internet connection, proceed to the Before you begin - Analogue or ISDN section of this Guide. 1 Broadband Router Before you begin - Cable or DSL connection This Quick Install Guide covers most Cable and DSL installations that are configured for Dynamic or Static IP addressing. This guide assumes that you have an active and properly functioning Cable or DSL Internet service. If you are uncertain about which type of configuration you have, please refer to the User Guide located on the Installation CD for more advanced setup procedures. Note: DSL users, if you use a login application to access the Internet, you are more than likely using a PPPoE connection. Refer to the appropriate section of the User Guide on the Installation CD for information on collecting your configuration information. If you use Dial-Up Networking and a VPN adapter, you are most likely using a PPTP connection. Refer to the appropriate section of the User Guide on the Installation CD for information on collecting your configuration information. If you are unsure about what type of connection you are using, contact your Internet Service Provider. Note: Your Cable or DSL modem must be connected to your computer via an RJ-45 Ethernet connection. The Broadband router is not compatible with Cable or DSL modems with only a USB connection. You must have an Ethernet adapter (NIC) installed on your computer. You will be required to gather the following information about your computer from your Internet Service Provider. Contact them for assistance in obtaining this information. IP Address: _______________-_______________-_______________-_______________ Subnet Mask: _______________-_______________-_______________-_______________ Gateway/Router _______________-_______________-_______________-_______________ DNS Servers/ Name Servers: _______________-_______________-_______________-_______________ _______________-_______________-_______________-_______________ Host Name/ DHCP Client ID: ______________________________________________________________ Not all of this information may be required for the installation of the Broadband Router.

Note: If your Cable or DSL modem is connected to your PC using a USB cable, disconnect the USB cable from both your PC and from your Cable or DSL modem. Locate the Ethernet cable from your Cable or DSL modem that is connected to your PC's Ethernet adapter. Disconnect that Ethernet cable from your PC's Ethernet adapter. Connect that Ethernet cable to the WAN port on the rear of the Broadband Router. 2 Connect one end of the supplied Ethernet cable to your PC's Ethernet adapter. Connect the other end to one of the LAN ports on the Broadband Router. 3 Turn on your Cable or DSL modem. Connect the included power cord to the power jack on the Broadband Router. Plug the power cord into a standard power outlet. The Broadband Router will automatically enter the self-test phase. After the self-test phase is complete, turn on your PC. Note: When the Broadband Router is in the self-test phase, the Power LED may flash rapidly and all four LAN LEDs will light for approximately five seconds. Finally, the Power LED will continuously be lighted to indicate that the Broadband Router is operating normally and the self-test phase is complete. 4 Connecting a Cable or DSL modem to the Broadband Router 4 To configure the Broadband Router for your specific ISP, launch a Web browser and type http:// 192.168.123.254 to access the Configuration Utility.
