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 .
