Step 1: Gather Components, Tools, and Information 1. Check if any of the following special situations apply to you. If... You haven't yet set up your broadband Internet connection You are using this base station to replace an existing base station, gateway, or router Your computer currently connects to your broadband modem with USB cable Your computer is running Windows XP or Windows 2000 Your computer is running firewall or Internet connection sharing software You have a Point-toPoint Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) Internet connection Do this first... Set up your broadband Internet connection and make sure that it works. The Setup Wizard will look for it and gather all of your Internet settings so that you don't have to locate and enter them manually. Record your current Internet settings. For information about how to locate them, see Appendix A, "Locating Your Internet and Network Settings." Do not disconnect your existing network devices until instructed to do so by the Setup Wizard. Replace the USB cable with the Ethernet cable that came with your modem. Make sure that your Internet connection is working through the Ethernet cable before proceeding. Log on as a member of the Administrator group on the computer you will use to set up the base station and on the computer you will use to set up the adapter. If you are not logged on as an administrator, click Start, click Log Off, and then press CTRL+ALT+DELETE. Log on again with an administrator's name and password. Disable or uninstall any firewall or Internet connection sharing software on your computers. Your base station will replace these functions, and the Setup Wizard cannot proceed if they are enabled. Make sure that you know your user name, password, and service name. The Setup Wizard will prompt you to enter this information. For information about how to determine your Internet settings, see Appendix A, "Locating Your Internet and Network Settings." 2. Take the following items to the computer that is currently connected to your broadband modem.
