Overview
Wireless-G ADSL Home Gateway
Chapter 4: Connecting the Wireless-G ADSL Home Gateway
Overview
The installation technician from your ISP should have left the setup information for the modem 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.
If you want to use a computer with an Ethernet adapter to configure the Gateway, continue to “Wired Connection
to a Computer.” If you want to use a computer with a wireless adapter to configure the Gateway, continue to
“Wireless 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 Line 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-G ADSL Home Gateway.”

NOTE:
You should always plug the Gateway’s power adapter into a power strip with
surge protection.
IMPORTANT:
For countries that have phone jacks with RJ-11 connectors, make sure to only place
the microfilters between the phone and the wall jack and
not
between the Gateway and the wall
jack or your ADSL will not connect.
For countries that do
not
have phone jacks with RJ-11 connectors (e.g. France, Sweden,
Switzerland, United Kingdom, etc.), except for ISDN users, the microfilter has to be used between
the Gateway and the wall jack, because the microfilter will have the RJ-11 connector.
Annex B users (E1 and DE versions of the Gateway) must use the included special cable to connect
the Gateway to the wall jack (RJ-45 to RJ-12).
If you require splitters or special jacks, please
contact your service provider.
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.

If you want to use a wireless connection to access the Gateway, follow these instructions:
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 Line port on the Gateway’s back 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 the power adapter to the Power port, and then plug the power adapter into a power outlet.

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.”
4.
Power on one of the computers on your wireless network(s).
5.
For initial access to the Gateway through a wireless connection, make sure the computer’s wireless adapter
has its SSID set to
linksys
(the Gateway’s default setting), and its wireless security is disabled. After you have
accessed the Gateway, you can change the Gateway and this computer’s adapter settings to match your usual
network settings.
Go to “Chapter 5: Configuring the Wireless-G ADSL Home Gateway.”
NOTE:
You should always change the SSID from its
default,
linksys
, and enable wireless security.
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.
