You must plug the black cable that came with your router into a comm port on the back of your computer.The other end plugs into the Management port on your router You also need to connect the yellow cross over cable from the router to the network port on the back of your computer.There is no default password for the router when you get it new (hit ENTER when it asks you for the password.)

All commands are followed by "enter"

***1 "Set multicast forwarding disabled" may error out if you have an
older CBOS version. Do not worry, the command is not required for your
DSL to work
***2 We do NOT keep track of your router password. You are responsible
to keep track of your own router password (pick something easy to remember,
but not easy to guess. You may use the same password as your login name
if you wish, however, Znet will still not be able to store or track this
password for you. If you wish extra security, you can also "set password
enable enablepassword" with a different password that is used to change
settings in your router. AGAIN: DO NOT LOOSE YOUR ROUTER'S PASSWORD(S).
