successfully connected to a device through the network ports. If the LED is blinking, it is an
indication of any network activity.

Wireless-G ADSL Gateway with 2 Phone Ports
Chapter 3: Connecting the Wireless-G ADSL Gateway
Overview
The Gateway’s setup consists of more than simply plugging hardware together. You will have to configure your
networked computers to accept the IP addresses that the Gateway assigns them (if applicable), and you will also
have to configure the Gateway with setting(s) provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
The installation technician from your ISP should have left the setup information for your 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.
Before you begin, make sure that all of your network’s hardware is powered off, including the Gateway and all
computers.
2.
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.
3.
Connect a phone cable from the Line port on the Gateway’s back panel to the wall jack of the ADSL line.
4.
Connect any telephones you wish to run through your ADSL line to the Gateway’s Phone ports.
5.
Connect the power adapter to the Gateway’s Power port, and then plug the power adapter into a power
outlet.
Turn the On/Off switch to On.
The Power LED on the front panel will light up green as soon as the power adapter is connected properly and
the switch is turned on. The Power LED will flash for a few seconds, then it will light up steady when the self-
test is complete. If the LED flashes for one minute or longer, see
Appendix A: Troubleshooting
.
6.
Power on one of your computers that is connected to the 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 Modem 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 modem and the wall jack, because the microfilter will have the RJ-11 connector.
Annex B users 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.

Power on one of the computers on your wireless network(s).
6.
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 that Wireless Security is disabled. After you
have accessed the Gateway, you can change the Gateway and this computer’s adapter settings to match the
your usual network settings.
The Gateway’s hardware installation is now complete.
Go to
Chapter 4: Configuring the Gateway
.
NOTE:
You should always change the SSID from its
default, linksys, and enable WEP encryption.
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.
