On the other hand, if it has it is own built-in modem (as many do now)
then it has to be configured.
Froma wired PC (rather than by wireless connection to the router) use ur
brower to connect to it is default which is probably http://192.168.0.1
(if that doesn't work replace the zero with a 1). It will ask you to log
in (which is probably the usernmae of ''admin'' & the password is probably
blank.
It will have come with a CD so look on that for the user manual (no doubt
a PDF file) which will tell you how to set it up. In fact there is
probably a ''quick setup'' piece of paper in the box.
You need to know a couple of things such as ur account username & password
for the modem (or modem/router) to log in. Try with the other default
settings first as they are often OK. Otherwise you will have to call ur
ISP & get the ADSL setting they want.
