Chapter 2
Overview
This chapter provides basic instructions for connecting the router to a computer or a LAN and to
the Internet using DSL. The first part provides instructions to set up the hardware, and the second
part describes how to prepare your PC for use with the router. Refer to Chapter 3, Using the Web
Interface for configuration instructions.
It is assumed that you have already subscribed to DSL service with your telephone company or
other Internet service provider (ISP).
Connecting your hardware
Shut down your PC before connecting the router. To connect your modem:
1.
Connect the ADSL Line and Telephone
Connect one end of an RJ-11 cable from your ADSL connection and the other end to the
LINE port of the modem.
Use a second RJ-11 cable to connect between a telephone and the PHONE port of the
modem.
2.
Connect the PC to the Router
To use the Ethernet connection, connect the Ethernet cable from the computer directly to the
router. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to one of the four ports labelled LAN on the
back of the router and attach the other end to the Ethernet port of your computer.
3.
Connect the Power Adapter
Complete the process by connecting the AC power adapter to the POWER connector on the
back of the device and plug the adapter into a wall outlet or power strip. Then turn on and
boot up your PC and any LAN devices, such as hubs or switches, and any computers
connected to them.
