Chapter 4: Connecting the Wireless-G Broadband Gateway

Wired Connection to a Computer

Wireless-G ADSL Gateway

Wired 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 LAN ports (labeled 1-4) on the back of the

Gateway (see Figure 4-1), and the other end to an Ethernet port on a computer.

3. Repeat this step to connect more computers, a switch, or other network devices to the Gateway.

4. Connect a phone cable from the ADSL port on the Gateway’s back panel (see Figure 4-2) to the wall jack of

the ADSL line. A small device called a microfilter may be necessary between each phone and wall jack to

prevent interference. Contact your ISP if you have any questions.

5. Connect the power adapter to the Gateway’s Power port (see Figure 4-3), and then plug the power adapter

into a power outlet.

• The Power LED on the front panel will light up green as soon as the power adapter is connected

properly. 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.

IMPORTANT: If using microfilters, 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.

NOTE: You should always plug the Gateway’s power

adapter into a power strip with surge protection.
