    like i said before , All the E series routers come with the great Cisco connect software for the easy installation:
  • insert the CD in to the computer, it will auto run automatically (you can double in the CD-drive if you don't see the installation window).

  • after accepting the license agreement you will see a window asking you to connect router to the computer , you can view detailed connection steps by clicking the ShowMeHow button.

  • after establishing a router computer connection , let the software detect your router ,if it detects multiple routers (in a wireless connection case), then select the serial number located on the left side of the product label, which is on the bottom panel of the Router.

  • now you have to wait while the setup software is setting up the Router. the installation is done , Enjoy .
