« on: January 24, 2004, 01:00:00 PM »

I just got a router. I didnt get any instructions because I giot it used. How do I hook it up? I have two pc's(the one with my printer is going to be the primary if possible)and my internet connection (dsl). The router has ports for a wan, 1-4 and an uplink. Thanks

Wan is your DSL

Then plug your one with printer into port 1
Other into port 2
Don't mess with uplink if you can help it. (I think)

All the manuals should be on linksys.com

As far as the power cord goes.. look where it should plug in. It should say.

alternatively you could go to the Linksysweb  site and download the documentation as was suggested above.  All electronic equipment comes with technical specs that will tell you exactly the type of adpater you need. Pay radio shack a visit.

u can find the manual and drivers on the manufacturers website, and that should have all the info u need on setup, configuration, power, other specs, etc.
