This restores the router's default settings. 7. Power on your PC. The Hardware Installation is complete. Continue to the next page to configure your PCs and Router. Note: Some ISPs-most notably some cable providers-configure their networks so that you do not have to enter a full Internet address into your web browser or e-mail application to reach your home page or receive your e-mail. If your Internet home page address is something very simple, such as "www", rather than "www.linksys.com", or your e-mail server's address is something similar to "email" or "pop3", rather than "pop.mail.linksys.com", you won't be able to properly configure your Router until you determine the actual Internet addresses of your Web and e-mail connections. You must obtain this information prior to connecting the Router to your network. You can obtain this information by contacting your ISP, or you can turn to the section of the Appendix on How to Ping Your ISP's E-mail & Web Addresses.
