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, plug the power adapter into a power outlet, and
press the Gateway’s power button.
The Power LED on the front panel will light up red as soon as the Gateway is turned on. The Power LED will
next flash green 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 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.
