Connecting an Analog or ISDN modem to the Wireless Cable/DSL Router

There are two main reasons why you would want to use either an analog or ISDN modem with the Wireless Cable/DSL Router:

•You use dial-up Internet service instead of cable or DSL Internet service.

•You have cable or DSL Internet service but want to have an analog

or ISDN backup in case your broadband Internet service is unavailable.

Perform the following steps to connect an analog or ISDN modem, manually change the WAN type, and properly configure the Wireless Cable/DSL Router:

1. Connect your modem to the Wireless

If you have any difficulties connecting to the Wireless Cable/DSL Router, check the top three issues below and see if they apply to your situation.

•If you are attempting to create a wireless connection, but cannot con- nect to the Wireless Cable/DSL Router, make sure each Wireless Card is set to Infrastructure mode. If the Wireless Cards are set to 802.11b AdHoc mode, you will not be able to connect to the Wireless Cable/DSL Router. When each Wireless Card is set to Infrastructure mode, it should automatically connect to the Access Point of the Wireless Cable/DSL Router. If the Wireless Cards do not automatically connect, rescan until they detect the Wireless Cable/DSL Router and connect.

•If you create a wireless connection to the Wireless Cable/DSL Router, but are experiencing poor link quality, check the positioning of the

Wireless Cable/DSL Router. Long distances, multiple floors, or steel or concrete walls can diminish the link quality. If possible, reposition the Wireless Cable/DSL Router to reduce the

effect of any of these obstacles.
