Plug in the cables
The router uses two network ports: one for your internet line and one for your office.
- Connect one port to your internet modem, and the other to your office switch, or straight to a computer.
- Look at the router's screen. It lists both ports. The one called
wan0is the internet port, andlan0is the office port. - Next to Internet line the screen shows an address a few seconds after the internet port has a working cable. If it keeps saying waiting for an address, swap the two cables.
Check it at the router
Sign in at the router's screen as root and type tnet ports. Each port shows link up when its cable is connected at both ends, or link down when it isn't. The internet port should show an address next to internet line.
