Read the following section to determine if you have access to the Internet. 3.3.3 Testing Your Setup At this point, the Internet Security Router should enable any computer on your LAN to use the Internet Security Router's ADSL or cable modem connection to access the Internet. To test the Internet connection, open your web browser, and type the URL of any external website (such as http://www.asus.com). The LED labeled WAN should be blinking rapidly and may appear solid as the device connects to the site. You should also be able to browse the web site through your web browser. If the LEDs do not illuminate as expected or the web page does not display, see Appendix 15 for troubleshooting suggestions. 3.3.4 Default Router Settings In addition to handling the DSL connection to your ISP, the Internet Security Router can provide a variety of services to your network. The device is pre-configured with default settings for use with a typical home or small office network. Table 3.2 lists some of the most important default settings; these and other features are described fully in the subsequent chapters. If you are familiar with network configuration settings, review the settings in Table 3.2 to verify that they meet the needs of your network. Follow the instructions to change them if necessary. If you are unfamiliar with these settings, try using the device without modification, or contact your ISP for assistance. Before you modifying any settings, review Chapter 4 for general information about accessing and using the Configuration Manager program. We strongly recommend that you contact your ISP prior to changing the default configuration. Table 3.2.
