Disconnecting your old equipment
If you've already got a broadband modem or
router connected to your line, unplug the power
supply and all other cables and put them to
one side for now. It's best to use the broadband
filter provided in the box, especially to connect
your new router. You can leave existing filters
connected to other telephone sockets.
