ADSL Microfilter
Each device such as a telephone, fax machine, answering machine, or caller ID display will require
an ADSL microfilter.
ADSL Microfilter with Built-In Splitter
Use an ADSL microfilter with built-in splitter when there is a single wall outlet which must
provide connectivity for both the modem router and telephone equipment.
Computers Set to DHCP
For the initial connection to your firewall, your computer has to be set to automatically get its
TCP/IP configuration from the firewall via DHCP. This is usually the case. The NETGEAR Smart
Wizard CD automatically takes care of this requirement. For manual setup, refer to the
documentation that came with your computer.
Figure 3-1
Warning: Do not connect the modem router to the ADSL line through a microfilter
unless the microfilter is a combination microfilter/splitter specifically
designed for this purpose. Doing so will prevent block your connection to the
Internet. If you have any doubts about this, connect the modem router directly
to the ADSL line.
