This connection port is for the power supply of the
Wireless Cable and DSL Router.
The U.S. Robotics Wireless Cable/DSL Router can be easily connected to
any Ethernet-based cable modem or DSL modem, or an RS-232-based
analogue or ISDN modem. You can verify compatibility by checking to see
if your cable or DSL modem is connected to the network adapter in your
computer using an Ethernet cable. If you have an analog or ISDN Internet
connection, proceed to the “Connecting an Analog or ISDN modem to the
Wireless Cable/DSL Router” section of this Guide.
To make a Wireless connection: Make sure each
Wireless Card that will be connecting to the net-
work is set to Infrastructure mode. If necessary,
refer to your Wireless Card manual to determine
how to change this setting.

If you have any difficulties connecting to the Wireless Cable/DSL Router,
check the top three issues below and see if they apply to your situation.
Turn off your PC and your analog or ISDN modem.
•
If you are attempting to create a wireless connection, but cannot con-
nect to the Wireless Cable/DSL Router, make sure each Wireless Card
is set to Infrastructure mode. If the Wireless Cards are set to 802.11b
AdHoc mode, you will not be able to connect to the Wireless
Cable/DSL Router. When each Wireless Card is set to Infrastructure
mode, it should automatically connect to the Access Point of the
Wireless Cable/DSL Router. If the Wireless Cards do not automatically
connect, rescan until they detect the Wireless Cable/DSL Router
and connect.
Connect a serial modem cable to your analog or ISDN modem and to the
COM port on the Wireless Cable/DSL Router.
Note: If your analog or ISDN modem is connected to your PC using a USB
cable, disconnect the USB cable from both your PC and from your analog or
ISDN modem.
2 Connect your Wireless Cable/DSL
Router to your computer
To make an Ethernet connection: Connect one end
of the supplied Ethernet cable to your PC's Ethernet
adapter. Connect the other end to one of the LAN
ports on the Wireless Cable/DSL Router.

If you create a wireless connection to the Wireless Cable/DSL Router,
but are experiencing poor link quality, check the positioning of the
Wireless Cable/DSL Router. Long distances, multiple floors, or steel
or concrete walls can diminish the link quality. If possible, reposition
the Wireless Cable/DSL Router to reduce the

If you have the Wireless Cable/DSL Router
properly connected and can access the
Internet, but are experiencing difficulties
connecting with special applications (e.g.,
ICQ, Battle.net, etc.), you must assign
specific ports in order to bypass the fire-
function. For more information about how
to configure this function, refer to the
"Special Applications" section within the
"Configuring the Wireless Cable/DSL

I do not know if my assigned IP Address is Static or Dynamic.
My Cable or DSL service is not working, but I need to access the Internet.
Possible Solution:
Possible Solution:
If you have cable or DSL service, you most likely have a Dynamic IP
address. You should always check with your service provider to verify this
information, since some providers will assign Static IP addresses. If you
have a Dynamic IP address, select Dynamic IP Address in the WAN Setup
area of the Configuration Utility, and the Wireless Cable/DSL Router will
automatically obtain the information it needs from your service provider.
If you have a Static IP address, select Static IP Address in the WAN Setup
area of the Configuration Utility. You will need to refer to Appendix A or
Appendix B in this guide to collect the necessary configuration information.
If you have an external analog modem and dial-up Internet service, you
can still access the Internet. Connect the external analog modem according
to the procedure described in this Guide. Open a Web browser and type
WAN, and then select Dial-up Modem. Enter the appropriate information
for your dial-up Internet Service Provider settings.
While trying to check my network configuration settings in Windows Me
or XP, I can’t find the Network icon.
Possible Solution:
I can’t connect to the Configuration Utility of the Wireless Cable/DSL Router.
The default setting in Windows Me and XP is to not show all of the icons
within the Control Panel. Click Windows Start, Settings, and then Control
Panel. Within Control Panel, click View all Control Panel options on the
left side of the screen. All the Control Panel icons should now be visible.
Possible Solution:
The Web-based Configuration Utility is where you can go to make any
changes to the settings of the Wireless Cable/DSL Router. Make sure all
of the Ethernet cables are properly and securely connected and that the
power cord is plugged in.
My computer does not recognize the Access Point function of the
Wireless Cable/DSL Router after I changed the settings.
Possible Solution:
Possible Solution:
If you have a Static IP address, make sure that you correctly performed all
of the steps in Appendix A or Appendix B of this guide. If you have a Static
IP address and did not select the Obtain an IP address automatically
option for your computer, you will not be able to connect to the Wireless
Cable/DSL Router.
Ensure that you are contacting the correct Access Point and using the
correct MAC address. Ensure that the correct passphrase and encryption
option are being used. If you changed the settings in the configuration of
the Access Point, you must also change the settings of every PC Card or
PCI Adapter attached to this network. The settings of the PC Cards or PCI
Adapters must match the new settings of the Wireless Cabl/DSL Router.
Possible Solution:
You need to verify the connection setting of your Web browser and that
the HTTP Proxy feature of your Web browser is disabled. You need to do
this so that your Web browser can read the configuration pages inside
your Wireless Cable/DSL Router. Launch your Web browser.
I am unable to connect to the Access Point function of the Wireless
Cable/DSL Router.
Possible Solution:
Be certain that you have each Wireless PC Card or PCI Adapter set to
Infrastructure mode. If your PC Cards or PCI Adapters are set to 802.11b
AdHoc mode, you will not be able to use the Access Point function. Refer
to the User Guide for your Wireless PC Card or PCI ADapter to determine
how to change this setting.
Internet Explorer users: Click Tools, Internet Options, and then the
Connections tab. Select Never dial a connection, click Apply, and then
click OK. Click Tools again, then click Internet Options. Click the
Connections tab, and click the LAN Settings button. Clear all of the
check boxes, and click OK. Click OK.
Note: Each Wireless Access PC Card or PCI Adapter in the wireless network
must have the Infrastructure mode selected within the Configuration Utility.
Refer to your Wireless Access PC Card or PCI Adapter documentation for
information on selecting Infrastructure mode.
Netscape Navigator users: Click Edit, Preferences, and then double-click
Advanced in the Category window. Click Proxies, select Direct connec-
tion to the Internet, and then click OK. Click Edit again, then click
Preferences. Under Category, double-click Advanced, then click Proxies.
Select Direct connection to the Internet, and click OK.
My Wireless Cable/DSL Router is not appearing in the list when
I scan for it.
My Configuration Utility is not responding, but I can still access
the Internet.
Possible Solution:
You may be on a computer that is too far away from the Wireless
Cable/DSL Router. Try moving closer to the Wireless Cable/DSL Router
and repeating the scan procedure.
Possible Solution:
If your Configuration utility stops responding, unplug and then plug back
in the power supply of the Wireless Cable/DSL Router. This will reboot the
Wireless Cable/DSL Router. If you are still unable to communicate with the
Configuration Utility, press in and hold the RESET button for five seconds.
This will reset the Wireless Cable/DSL Router to the factory default set-
tings. If you applied any personal configuration settings, you will need to
make the changes again.
Note: It is important that you have your serial number written down for future
reference. If you ever need to call our Technical Support department, you will
need this number, plus your model number, which is 8011, to receive assistance.

functioning cable or DSL Internet service. If you are uncertain about which type of
configuration you have, refer to the User Guide located on the Installation CD-ROM
for more advanced setup procedures.
All Windows Users:
Select the TCP/IP option for the network adapter that is used to connect to your

than likely using a PPPoE connection. Refer to the appropriate section of the User
Guide on the Installation CD-ROM for information on collecting your configuration
information. If you use Dial-Up Networking and a VPN adapter, you are most likely
using a PPTP connection. Refer to the appropriate section of the User Guide on the
