Before you begin

Consider your connection type

How will you use your USR5430? If you want to game online through the Internet so you can play

anyone around the world, you’ll want to set up your USR5430 in Client Mode. You can also use the

USR5430 in Client Mode as an Ethernet bridge to connect any Ethernet device such as a computer,

network printer, or digital video recorder (DVR) to a wireless network. If you want to play your friend

in the same house or building and you each have a gaming console of the same brand (Xbox-to-

Xbox, Playstation-to-Playstation, or other gaming consoles), you will need to set up your USR5430 in

Ad Hoc Mode. Select one of the following and follow the installation steps accordingly.
