If you are connecting more than eight PCs to the Router, then you will need to connect a hub or switch to any of the Router's Ethernet ports. 2 Configure the Router A Division of Cisco Systems, Inc. Linksys highly recommends that you use the Setup CD-ROM to install the Cable/DSL Router with 8-Port Switch. However, if you prefer to install the Router manually, then follow the instructions in this Quick Installation. In Step 3, you will need the setup instructions provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). If you do not have this information, then contact your ISP before proceeding. The instructions from your ISP tell you how to set up your PC for Internet access. Because you are now using the Router to share Internet access among several computers, you will use the setup information to configure the Router instead of your PC. NOTE:: Make sure your PC's Ethernet adapter is set to obtain an IP address automatically. For more information, refer to Windows Help.
