I have vague memories that the install only works correctly with a wired
connection, not wirelessly.

George, I don't have access to the manual, so could you check that please?

Hi Sharon,

Just to clear up a point about the web comment.  In actual fact, you do NOT
require to be on the Internet at all to access the router's "Web Interface".
You simply require the Router to be connected to your system.

To try and keep it simple, behind every web address, is something called an
IP Address. (Internet Protocol)

So, if you want to access your Router, you can run Internet Explorer (even
with no Internet connection), and in the place you normally type the web
address you want to go to, you type http://192.168.1.1 which should then
find your Router, and present you with a kind of menu.

Going back to the CD, when this autoruns, there should be three options.
"Run QuickStart Wizard", "User's Guide" and "Exit".

If the router is connected to your PC, and powered on, the QuickStart option
should find it.  If it doesn't, it's either a faulty one, or you have a bad
connection somewhere.

George.
