With the help of a Linksys wireless G router, you can connect multiple computer devices to one access point. But as a new user, the problem arises when you have little understanding of the setup process of the Linksys router.

The setup procedure is pretty much similar to the setup process of all the other routers. You have to start with establishing a connection between the router and a modem with the help of an ethernet cable wire.

Once you have access to the setup page you can customize the settings accordingly and form connections with other devices.

Mentioned Below are the Steps that You Need to Follow to Setup Linksys Wireless G Broadband Router:

Step 1: Use an Ethernet Wire to Connect Modem and Router

Step 2: Connect the Broadband Modem to Your Wireless Router

Take an ethernet wire and connect its one end to the internet port of the Linksys wireless router and the other end to the modem. Take another ethernet wire and connect its one end to the computer and another end to any of the 4 ports of the Linksys router.

Step 3: Connect Your Router to the Power Source

The next thing that you need to do is to connect your router device to an electrical outlet. After that, turn on both your router as well as the modem. Please check that all the LED lights of both the devices are turned on. Power on your PC and then open your web browser.
