Follow this procedure if you connect a telephone to the ADSL line using a POTS splitter.

•Connect an RJ11 cable between the wall phone jack and the LINE port of the splitter (see diagram below).

•Attach another RJ11 phone wire to the MODEM port of the splitter and the ADSL port on the rear panel of the router.

•Attach the PHONE port of the splitter to the telephone using a third RJ11 phone wire.

Connect the ADSL Line to the Router

Follow this procedure if you will not connect a telephone to the ADSL line using a POTS splitter.

•Connect an RJ11 cable between the wall phone jack and the ADSL port of the router.

Connect the PC to the Router

By Ethernet—

To use the Ethernet connection, connect the Ethernet cable from the computer directly to the router.

•Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the port(s) labeled LAN 1-4on the back of the router and attach the other end to the Ethernet port of your computer. Do not use the USB Device port of the router.

•If your LAN has more than one computer, you can attach one end of an Ethernet cable to a hub or a switch and the other to the Ethernet port (labeled LAN) on the router. Note that either a crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable can be used. The router automatically recognizes the type of connection that is required.
