Setting Up Your Gateway for an Internet Connection
If you want to set up your Home Wireless Gateway for use with your external
cable or DSL modem so that you can access the Internet, you will need modem
setting information (IP address, subnet mask address, ISP gateway address,
and DNS address) from your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
1 Go to the cable/DSL modem setup screen
Select Cable/DSL from the gray menu on the left side of the page. An
informational page will appear, recommending that you have the
modem setting information from your ISP handy. Collect the
information, and then click
Enter.
NOTE:
Write the new password down and keep it in a safe place, so that
you can change your settings in the future.
NOTE:
If you choose not to set up an Internet connection at this time,
skip this procedure and go to “Setting Up Your Gateway for Wireless
Communication”.
