Connecting the Router to the Internet
This chapter describes how to set up the router on your Local Area Network (LAN) and connect to
the Internet. It describes how to configure your DG834G 54 Mbps Wireless ADSL Firewall Router
for Internet access using the Setup Wizard, or how to manually configure your Internet connection.
What You Need Before You Begin
You need to prepare the following before you can establish an Internet connection through your
router:
1. The router connected to an ADSL line and a computer properly connected to the router as
explained below.
2. Active Internet service such as that provided by an ADSL account.
3. The Internet Service Provider (ISP) configuration information for your DSL account.
Note: If you purchased the DG834G in a country where a microfilter is not included, you must
acquire one.
ADSL Microfilter Requirements
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.
