1) Local Area Network (LAN)

The VRT-401G’s 4 LAN ports are where you connect your LAN’s PCs, printer servers, hubs

and switches etc.

2) Wide Area Network (WAN)

The WAN port is the segment connected to your xDSL or Cable modem and is linked to the

Internet.

3) Reset

The Reset button allows you to do one of two things.

1) If problems occur with your router, press the router’s reset button with a pencil tip (for

less than 4 seconds) and the router will re-boot itself, keeping your original

configurations.

2) If problems persist or you experience extreme problems or you forgot your password,

press the reset button for longer than 4 seconds and the router will reset itself to the

factory default settings (warning: your original configurations will be replaced with

the factory default settings)
