Information you will need about your LAN or computer
Ethernet NIC
If your computer has an Ethernet NIC, you can connect the DSL-526B to the Ethernet port using an Ethernet cable. You can also use the Ethernet
ports on the DSL-526B to connect to other computers or Ethernet devices.
DHCP Client status
Your DSL-526B ADSL Router is configured, by default, to be a DHCP server. This means that it can assign an IP address, subnet mask and a
default gateway address to computers on your LAN. The default range of IP addresses the DSL-526B will assign are from 192.168.1.2 to
192.168.1.254. Your computer (or computers) needs to be configured to obtain an IP address automatically (that is, they need to be configured as
DHCP clients.)
It is recommended that you collect and record this information here, or in some other secure place, in case you have to re-configure your ADSL
connection in the future.
Once you have the above information, you are ready to setup and configure your DSL-526B ADSL Router.

Device Installation
The DSL-526B has three separate physical interfaces, an ADSL (WAN), an Ethernet (LAN) interface and a USB Interface. The Router can be
connected to your PC via the USB port or the Ethernet port. Place the Router in a location where it can be connected to the various devices as well
as to a power source. The Router should not be located where it will be exposed to moisture or excessive heat. Make sure the cables and power
cord are placed safely out of the way so they do not create a tripping hazard. As with any electrical appliance, observe common sense safety
procedures.
The Router can be placed on a shelf or desktop, ideally you should be able to see the LED indicators on the front if you need to view them for
troubleshooting.
Power on Router
The Router must be used with the power adapter included with the device.
1.
Insert the AC Power Adapter cord into the power receptacle located on the rear panel of the Router and plug the adapter into a suitable nearby
power source.
2.
Depress the Power button into the on position. You should see the Power LED indicator light up and remain lit. The Status LED should light solid
green and begin to blink after a few seconds.
3.
If the Ethernet port is connected to a working device, check the Ethernet LAN LED indicator to make sure the connection is valid. The Router
will attempt to establish the ADSL connection, if the ADSL line is connected and the Router is properly configured this should light up after
several seconds. If this is the first time you have installed the device, some settings may need to be changed before the Router can establish
a connection.
