the warranty of this product.

If any of the above items are missing, please contact your reseller.

This product can be set up using

any current web browser, i.e.,

Internet Explorer 6 or Netscape

If you purchased this router to share your high-speed Internet connection with

other computers, you must have either an Ethernet-based Cable or a DSL modem

with an established Internet account from an Internet Service Provider (ISP).

It’s best to use the same computer that is connected to your modem for

configuring the DI-604 router. The DI-604 Router acts as a DHCP server and will

assign all the necessary IP address information on your network. See Appendix

at the end of this Quick Installation Guide or the Manual on the CD-ROM

for setting each network adapter to automatically obtain an IP address.

These are the items included with your DI-604 purchase:
