Chapter 2
Hardware Installation and PC Setup
Overview
This chapter provides basic instructions for connecting the router to a computer or a LAN and to
the Internet using DSL. The first part provides instructions to set up the hardware, and the second
part describes how to prepare your PC for use with the router. Refer to Chapter 3, Using the Web
Interface for configuration instructions.
It is assumed that you have already subscribed to DSL service with your telephone company or
other Internet service provider (ISP).
Connecting your hardware
Shut down your PC before connecting the router. To connect your modem:
1.
Connect the ADSL Line and Telephone
Connect one end of an RJ-11 cable from your ADSL connection and the other end to the
LINE port of the modem.
Use a second RJ-11 cable to connect between a telephone and the PHONE port of the
modem.
2.
Connect the PC to the Modem
To use the Ethernet connection, connect the Ethernet cable from the computer directly to the
modem. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the port labelled LAN on the back of the
modem and attach the other end to the Ethernet port of your computer.

You can also use the supplied USB cable to connect your computer directly to the modem.
Connect one end of the USB cable to the USB port on the back of the modem and connect
the other end to a free USB port on your PC. The Found New Hardware Wizard will open on
your PC. See USB Driver Installation instructions below.
If your LAN has more than one computer, you can attach one end of an Ethernet cable to a
hub or a switch and the other to the Ethernet port (labelled LAN) on the modem. Note that
either a crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable can be used. The modem automatically
recognizes the type of connection that is required.
3.
Connect the Power Adapter
Complete the process by connecting the AC power adapter to the POWER connector on the
back of the device and plug the adapter into a wall outlet or power strip. Then turn on and
boot up your PC and any LAN devices, such as hubs or switches, and any computers
connected to them.
Mounting the Modem
The modem can be mounted on the wall with two screws. Mounting can be done on wall material
including concrete, wood, or drywall. Select an appropriate location free from obstructions or any
possible interference. Make sure the cables can be easily attached to the modem without strain.
The illustration below shows how to mount the modem horizontally on a wall.
