Router
The first step for installing your Router is to physically connect it to a
RJ11 cable with the splitter and then connect the Router to a computer in
order to be able to access the Internet. See

To use your Router to connect to the Internet through an DSL
connection:
1 Insert one end of the supplied telephone (RJ-11) cable into the
Cable/DSL port on the rear panel of the Router. Check that the DSL Sync
status LED lights on the Router.
2 Connect your computer to one of the four LAN ports on the Router using
a Category 5 twisted pair cable. Check that the corresponding LAN
status LED on the Router lights.
You have now completed the hardware installation of your Router. Next
you need to set up your computers so that they can make use of the
Router to communicate with the Internet.
3Com recommends that you perform the initial Router configuration from
a computer that is directly connected to one of the LAN ports.
If you configure the Router from a wireless computer, note that you may
lose contact with the Router if you change the wireless configuration.
