Set up your modem-router
NOTE
Run the Setup CD-ROM to install the modem-router. If you cannot
run the Setup CD-ROM, refer to the steps below.
NOTE
If you are setting up your modem-router in New Zealand, see
“NOTE FOR USERS IN NEW ZEALAND” on page 7.
Connect your modem-router
To connect your modem-router:
1.
Power down all your network devices, including your computer(s) and
the modem-router. If you currently use a modem, disconnect it now—
the modem-router replaces your modem.
2.
Connect one end of the provided Ethernet cable to your computer’s
Ethernet adapter and the other end to an Ethernet port on the back of
the modem-router.
3.
Repeat step 2 for each additional computer or device that you want to
connect to the modem-router.
NOTE
If your computer’s Ethernet adapter is not set up, refer to the
Ethernet adapter’s documentation for more information.
4.
Connect one end of the phone cable to the DSL port on the back.
5.
Connect the other end of the phone cable to the wall jack with ADSL
service or microfilter.
NOTE
If you experience static on your phone line, you may need a
microfilter or splitter. (This is required for users in the UK; other
users should contact their ISPs to verify. ISDN users do not need
a microfilter.) If you require a microfilter, you must install one for
each phone or fax that you use. To install a microfilter, plug it into
a phone jack that has ADSL service, then connect one end of the
provided phone cable to the microfilter’s DSL port.
6.
Connect one end of the power adapter cord to the Power port and the
other end to the electrical outlet.
7.
Power on the computer that you will use to configure the modem-router.
8.
The LEDs for Power, Wireless, and Ethernet (one for each connected
computer) should light up. If not, make sure the modem-router is
powered on and the cables are securely connected.
