a printer on the local network or copy files to a computer on the local network°

This helps minimize exposure of your local network°

including the Modem Router and computers° Then power on each device

in the following order:

a.

Modem Router

b.

Computer

•

Check the LEDs on the device’s front panel° Make sure the Power, DSL,

and at least one of the numbered Ethernet LEDs are lit° If they are not,

then check the cable connections° The computer should be connected to

one of the Ethernet ports numbered 1-4 on the device, and the device’s

DSL port must be connected to the ADSL line°

When you double-click the web browser, you are prompted for a user name
