- Type 192.168.0.1 into internet explorer window address bar
- Select Setup
- Select advanced setup
- On first screen, click "Begin Advanced Setup"
- On "Configuring the Advanced Settings" click "Next"
- Next screen ("WAN IP Address") will give you option of RF1483 bridge mode, PPPoE or PPPoA. Select RF1483. All other option and menu selections will be disabled after this. Remember, you are making the 701 a "dumb" modem. It will do nothing else but pass packets along.
- "Select save and restart" on the bottom of the left hand menu.
