Section 2 - Installation
This section will walk you through the installation process. Placement of the router is very important. Do not place the router in
an enclosed area such as a closet, cabinet, attic, or garage.
Note: This installation section is written for users who are setting up their home Internet service with the DSL-X1852E
AX1800 Wi-Fi 6 VDSL2/ADSL2+ Modem Router with VoIP for the first time. If you are connecting to an existing cable/NBN™/UFB
modem or connection box, you may need to modify these steps according to your broadband technology or plan .
• Make sure to have your DSL service information provided by your Internet Service Provider handy. This
information is likely to include your DSL account's username and password. Your ISP may also supply you with
additional WAN configuration settings which are necessary to establish a connection. This information may
include the connection type (DHCP IP, Static IP, or PPPoE) and parameter settings such as VLAN ID.
• If you are connecting a considerable amount of networking equipment, it may be a good idea to take the time to
label each cable or take a picture of your existing setup before making any changes.
• We suggest setting up your DSL-X1852E from a single device and verifying that it is connected to the Internet
before connecting additional devices.
• If you have DSL and are connecting via PPPoE, make sure you disable or uninstall any PPPoE connection software
such as WinPoET, BroadJump, or EnterNet 300 from your computer as the DSL-X1852E will be providing this
functionality.
