Information
This guide covers only the most common situations. Please refer to the full User’s Guide on the CD-ROM
if your network uses any of the following: existing router, existing DHCP server, or PC(s) using fixed (static)
IP addresses.
Requirements:
• DSL or Cable Modem
• PC(s) with the TCP/IP protocol installed
• Cat 5 Ethernet cables with RJ-45 connectors
• Installed wireless network adapter for each PC that will be wirelessly connected to the network
• Installed 10/100 Ethernet network adapter for each PC that will be connected to the network via
cabling

SpeedStream router icon and skip to step 3 in the router configuration procedure below.
1. Start your web browser. In the Address box, enter the following: HTTP://192.168.254.254
2. Press Enter. The SpeedStream Simple Setup Wizard will launch.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions and choose the appropriate Internet connection method.

process. Ensure that your DSL or Cable modem is connected properly and powered on
NOTE: If your Service Provider currently requires you to use separate PPPoE client software, discontinue use of this
