Each device such as a telephone, fax machine, answering machine, or caller ID display will require an ADSL microfilter.

Warning: Do not connect the ADSL modem router to the ADSL line through a microfilter unless the microfilter is a combination microfilter/splitter specifically designed for this purpose. Doing so will prevent block your connection to the Internet. If you have any doubts about this, connect the ADSL modem router directly to the ADSL line.

Use an ADSL microfilter with built-in splitter when there is a single wall outlet which must provide connectivity for both the ADSL modem router and telephone equipment.

Computers Set to DHCP

For the initial connection to your router, your computer has to be set to automatically get its TCP/IP configuration from the router via DHCP. This is usually the case. The NETGEAR Smart Wizard CD automatically takes care of this requirement. For manual setup, refer to the documentation that came with your computer.
