Chapter 3:

Installaton

Linksys strongly recommends that you run the Setup CD-

ROM. If you have problems running the Setup CD-ROM,

use this chapter.

Connection

Make sure that all the devices that you are working

with are powered down, including your computer(s)

and the Gateway. If you have a modem connected

to your network, disconnect it. The Gateway replaces

your modem.
Connect one end of the provided Ethernet cable to

your computer’s Ethernet adapter. Connect the other

end of the Ethernet cable to one of the Ethernet ports

on the back of the Gateway.

Connect the Computer

Repeat step 2 for every computer or device that you

want to connect to the Gateway via Ethernet. If you

connect more than four computers to the Gateway,

you also need to connect a switch to the Gateway.

NOTE:

If your computer’s Ethernet adapter

is not set up, refer to the Ethernet adapter’s

documentation for more information.

Connect one end of the phone cable to the DSL port

on the back of the Gateway.

Connect the DSL

Connect the other end of the phone cable to the wall

jack with ADSL service or microfilter.

NOTE:

To avoid interference, you may need to

place a microfilter or splitter between the phone

cable and wall jack. Contact your ISP to determine

if one is required. (UK residents need to connect

the microfilter to the wall phone jack with ADSL

service and then connect one end of the provided

phone cable to the DSL port on it.) If you have

more than one phone and you experience static

on the line after installing the Gateway, then you

need to install an additional microfilter for each

phone or fax that you use. If you use ISDN, then

you do not need a microfilter.

Connect the power adapter to the Gateway’s power

port and the electrical outlet.

Connect the Power

Power on the computer that you want to use to

configure the Gateway.
The Power, Wireless, and at least one of the numbered

Ethernet (1, 2, 3, or 4) LEDs should light up. If not, make

sure the Gateway is powered on and the cables are

securely connected.
