1. Make sure that all of your network’s hardware is powered off, including the Gateway and all computers.
2. Connect a phone cable from the Line port on the Gateway’s side panel to the wall jack of the ADSL line. A
small device called a microfilter (not included) may be necessary between each phone and wall jack to
prevent interference. Contact your ISP if you have any questions.
3. Connect one end of an Ethernet network cable to one of the Ethernet ports on the back of the Gateway, and
the other end to an Ethernet port on a computer.
Repeat this step to connect a switch, or other network devices to the Gateway.
4. Connect the power adapter to the Gateway’s Power port, and then plug the power adapter into a power outlet.
The Power LED on the front panel will light up green as soon as the power adapter is connected properly. The
Power LED will flash for a few seconds, and then it will be solidly lit when the self-test is complete. If the LED
flashes for one minute or longer, see “Appendix A: Troubleshooting.”
5. Power on one of your computers that is connected to the Gateway.
Go to “Chapter 5: Configuring the Home Wireless-G Gateway.”

NOTE: You should always plug the Gateway’s power adapter into a power strip with
surge protection.
NOTE: A small device called a microfilter (not included) may be necessary between each phone and
wall jack to prevent interference. Contact your ISP if you have any questions.
NOTE: This Gateway is intended to replace your existing ADSL modem that already has a microfilter
in place. If this Gateway is not replacing an existing modem, then you will need to purchase a BT
approved microfilter.
