If you do not require phone service, skip step 1 and connect the modem router directly to the phone jack using a phone cable. Then, proceed to steps 3 and 4 for hardware connection.

If you already have a modem or your internet connection comes directly from an Ethernet wall outlet, you can switch to Wireless Router mode. Refer to the 'Already Have a Modem?' section on the back page.
