Wireless-G ADSL Gateway

Wireless Connection to a Computer

If you want to use a wireless connection to access the Gateway, follow these instructions:
1. Make sure that all of your network's hardware is powered off, including the Gateway and all computers.
2. Connect a phone cable from the Line port on the Gateway's back panel to the wall jack of the ADSL line. A
small device called a microfilter (not included) may be necessary between each phone and wall jack to
prevent interference. Contact your ISP if you have any questions.
IMPORTANT: For countries that have phone jacks with RJ-11 connectors, make sure you only place
the microfilters between the phone and the wall jack and not between the Gateway and the wall jack
or your ADSL will not connect.
For countries that do not have phone jacks with RJ-11 connectors (e.g. France, Sweden, Switzerland,
United Kingdom, etc.), except for ISDN users, the microfilter has to be used between the Gateway and
the wall jack, because the microfilter will have the RJ-11 connector.
Annex B users (E1 and DE versions of the Gateway) must use the included special cable to connect
the Gateway to the wall jack (RJ-45 to RJ-12). If you require splitters or special jacks, please contact
your service provider.
3. Connect the power adapter to the Power port, plug the power adapter into a power outlet, and press the
Gateway's power button.
The Power LED on the front panel will light up red as soon as the Gateway is turned on. The Power LED will
next flash green for a few seconds, and then it will be solidly lit when the self-test is complete. If the LED
flashes for one minute or longer, see "Appendix A: Troubleshooting."
4. Power on one of the computers on your wireless network(s).
5. For initial access to the Gateway through a wireless connection, make sure the computer's wireless adapter
has its SSID set to linksys (the Gateway's default setting), and its wireless security is disabled. After you have
accessed the Gateway, you can change the Gateway and this computer's adapter settings to match your usual
network settings.
Go to "Chapter 5: Configuring the Wireless-G ADSL Gateway."
