Installing A Wireless Router.


All routers come preconfigured to work with a DHCP network like Eagle Cable Internet, so you will not need the CD that comes with your router



Hooking

First run a network cable from the modem into the internet port on the back of the router. Then connect the power cable. Finally, run an additional network cable from any one of the ports labeled 1-4 to the computers. (If the router has been used with a different internet provider, it is a good idea to reset the router. Do this by holding down the reset button for a few seconds.) Any computers that are connected directly to the router should connect automatically after a restart.
Preparations:
Step 1: Ensure your computer is turned on (If using a wireless PCI card, make sure it is installed in the computer while the computer is turned off.)
Step 2: Ensure your wireless access point (wireless router) has a Network Key already setup and is connected to the cable modem or dsl modem and turned on.Note: You can configure most routers by typing http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1 in the Web browser's (Internet Explorer, Netscape, etc.) Address bar.
