Connect your PC or hub to the LOCAL port of the router. Use the red crossover Ethernet cable provided to connect the router directly to a PC, or Use the white straight-through Ethernet cable provided to connect to a 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps hub or switch. The router senses the speed of the connected port and automatically matches the speed. Note: If you are connecting your router to a 100 Mbps or a mixed 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps network, use Category 5 Ethernet cables. Your Model RT311 router package contains Category 5 cables. 2. Connect the Internet port of the router to the Ethernet port on your broadband modem (cable or DSL), using the Ethernet cable that shipped with your modem. 3. Connect the AC power adapter cord to the 12 V DC power connector on the rear panel of the router, and plug the AC power adapter into a wall outlet. PREPARATION AND SETUP Before using the router to connect your LAN to the Internet, you must: • Order Internet service from an Internet service provider (ISP) • Set up your PCs for using the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) networking protocol ISP Checklist Contact an ISP to request a single-user Internet access account that provides a broadband access device, such as a cable modem or DSL modem, to connect the router to the Internet. You can connect a multiuser LAN through a single-user account by using the Network Address Translation (NAT) feature of the router. The modem must have a standard Ethernet interface to connect to your router. In a single-user account, you are assigned only one registered IP address. This address may be a permanent, fixed address or it may be an address assigned dynamically when your modem connects to the ISP. The NAT feature of your router will map the IP addresses of your PCs to this address for accessing the Internet. Some applications may be incompatible with NAT. Account Information Unless the following information is dynamically assigned, your ISP should provide you with this basic account information: • IP address • Subnet mask • Domain name system (DNS) ser...
