Installation

This section will explain how to configure your computers to connect to the gateway, configure the gateway

to connect to the Internet, and set up your wireless clients.

DSL Filters/Microfilters

ADSL signals must be blocked from reaching each telephone, answering machine, fax machine, or any similar

conventional device. Failure to do so may degrade telephone voice quality and ADSL performance.

Install a microfilter if you desire to use the DSL-equipped line jack for telephone, answering machine, fax

machine or other telephone device connections. Microfilter installation requires no tools or telephone

rewiring. Just unplug the telephone device from the baseboard or wall mount and plug in a microfilter and

then plug in the telephone device.

You can purchase microfilters from your local electronics retailer, or contact the original provider of your DSL

equipment.
