Overview
The installation technician from your ISP should have left the setup information with you after installing your
broadband connection. If not, you can call your ISP to request that data. After you have the setup information you
need for your specific type of Internet connection, you can begin installation and setup of the Gateway.
To use a computer with an Ethernet adapter to configure the Gateway, continue to “Wired Connection to a
Computer.” To use a wireless-equipped computer, continue to “Wireless Connection to a Computer.”
Wired Connection to a Computer
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 DSL 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 (labeled 1-4) on the back of the
Gateway, and the other end to an Ethernet port on a computer. Repeat this step to connect more computers, 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 Wireless-N ADSL2+ Gateway.”
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: You should always plug the Gateway’s power adapter into a power strip with surge
protection.
