ABefore you begin, make sure

that you have the setup

information for your specific

type of Internet connection.

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 settings.

BMake sure that all of your

network’s hardware is powered

off, including the Router, PCs,

and cable or DSL modem.

CConnect one end of an

Ethernet network cable to one

of the ports (labeled 1-4) on

the back of the Router, and the

other end to an Ethernet port

on a PC.

DRepeat step C to connect

additional PCs or other network

devices to the Router.

Connect the Broadband Router

EConnect a different Ethernet

network cable from your cable

or DSL modem to the Internet

port on the Router’s back

panel. This is the only port that

will work for your modem

connection.

modem.

GConnect the AC power

adapter to the Router’s Power

port and the other end into an

electrical outlet.

HMake sure the Power and

Internet LEDs on the front panel

light up green.

IThe Power LED will flash green

for a few seconds when the

Router goes through its self-

diagnostic test. This LED will stay

solidly lit when the self-test is

complete. If it does not stop

flashing, refer to “Appendix A:

Troubleshooting” in the Router’s

User Guide on the Setup CD-

ROM.

JPower on the PC you wish to

use to configure the Router.

HWireless Network Name (SSID).

The SSID is the network name

shared among all devices in a

wireless network. The SSID must

be identical for all devices in

the wireless network. It is case-

sensitive and must not exceed

32 characters (use any

keyboard character). For

Telstra

added security, you should

change the default SSID linksys

to a unique name.

IWireless Channel. Select the

appropriate channel from the

devices in your wireless network

must broadcast on the same

channel in order to function

correctly.

JWireless SSID Broadcast. When

wireless clients survey the local

area for wireless networks to

associate with, they will detect

the SSID broadcast by the

Router. To broadcast the

setting, Enable. If you do not

want to broadcast the Router's

SSID, then select Disable.

The installation of the Wireless-G

Broadband Router is complete.

NOTE: For more advanced settings

and security options, refer to the

User Guide on the Router’s CD-ROM.

IMPORTANT: Once the Router is

configured, wireless security,

either WEP or WPA, should be

configured to prevent security

breaches in your network.

The Router comes equipped with

four types of wireless security: WEP,

WPA Pre-Shared, WPA Enterprise, and

RADIUS. These security methods are

not enabled right out of the box,

however. To configure wireless

security on the Router, do the

following:

AOpen the Router’s Web Utility

as shown in Step 2, and click

the Wireless tab. The Basic

Wireless Settings screen will

appear.

BSelect Wireless Security to

configure wireless security on

the Router.

Directions for the configuration

of WEP and WPA Pre-Shared

wireless security are provided

here.

CFrom the Security Mode pull-

down menu, select the type of

wireless security you’ll use on

your network.

WEP: WEP is a basic encryption

method, which is not as secure as

WPA. To use WEP, select a Default

Transmit Key (choose which Key to

use), and a level of WEP

encryption, 64 bits 10 hex digits

or 128 bits 26 hex digits. Then

either generate a WEP key using

the Passphrase or enter the WEP

key manually.

Configuring Wireless Security

NOTE: If your wireless adapters

support Secure Easy Setup (SES), you

can use the SES button on the Router

to set up wireless security.

Basic Wireless Settings

NOTE: Please refer to the User Guide

if you wish to configure WPA Enterpise

or RADIUS wireless security options.

WEP Security Settings

WPA Pre-Shared: WPA gives you

two encryption methods, TKIP and

AES, with dynamic encryption keys.

Select the type of algorithm, TKIP

or AES. Enter a WPA Shared Key of

8-63 characters. Then enter a

Group Key Renewal period, which

instructs the Router how often it

should change the encryption

keys.

DClick the Save Settings button.

Congratulations! Wireless Security

is now configured on the Router.
