N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3

One-Line ADSL Microfilter

Plug the ADSL microfilter into the wall outlet and plug your phone equipment into the jack labeled Phone. The modem router plugs directly into a separate DSL line. Plugging the modem router into the phone jack blocks the Internet connection. If you do not have a separate DSL line for the modem router, the best thing to do is to use an ADSL microfilter with a built-in splitter (see Two-Line ADSL Microfilter ).

If you do not have a separate DSL line for the modem router, the second-best solution is to get a separate splitter. To use a one-line filter with a separate splitter, insert the splitter into the phone outlet, connect the one-line filter to the splitter, and connect the phone to the filter.

Two-Line ADSL Microfilter

Use an ADSL microfilter with a built-in splitter when there is a single wall outlet that provides connectivity for both the modem router and your telephone equipment. Plug the ADSL microfilter into the wall outlet, plug your phone equipment into the jack labeled Phone, and plug the modem router into the jack labeled ADSL.
