Understanding ADSL Microfilters
ADSL technology uses the same wires as your telephone service. However, ADSL adds signals to
the telephone lines which create noise in the telephone service. You must use ADSL microfilters
to filter out these signals before they reach your telephone.
ADSL Microfilter
Each device such as a telephone, fax machine, answering machine, or caller ID display will require
an ADSL microfilter.
ADSL Microfilter with Built-In Splitter
Use an ADSL microfilter with built-in splitter when there is a single wall outlet which must
provide connectivity for both the wireless modem router and telephone equipment.
If you purchased the wireless modem router in a country where a microfilter is not
included, you must acquire one.
Figure 4
Do not connect the wireless modem router to the ADSL line through a microfilter
unless the microfilter is a combination microfilter/splitter specifically designed for
this purpose. Doing so will prevent block your connection to the Internet. If you
have any doubts about this, connect the wireless modem router directly to the
ADSL line.

Connecting Your Wireless Modem Router
Before you install your wireless modem router, make sure that the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
Property settings on your computer are set to “automatically obtain an IP address” using DHCP
and “Obtain DNS server address automatically.” You can check these settings by looking at the
TCP/IP Properties of your Internal Network Connections, which are accessible through the
Control Panel of your computer. If you are unsure about this, refer to the documentation for your
computer or see the link to TCP/IP Addressing in
“Related Documents” on page 34
.
To connect the wireless modem router, the ADSL filter and the computer:
1.
Connect an ADSL filter as shown below.
•
Install an ADSL filter for every telephone that uses the same phone line as your wireless
modem router. Select the appropriate filter(s) for your wireless setup.
If you are replacing an existing router, disconnect it completely from your network
and set it aside before starting to install your new router.
If you purchased the DGN1000 in a country where an ADSL filter is not
included, you must acquire one.
