Next, the Setup Wizard will report which connection type it has discovered, and then display the appropriate configuration page. If the Setup Wizard finds no connection, you will be prompted to check the physical connection between your router and the ADSL line. When the connection is properly made, the router’s Internet LED should be on.

Incorrect VPI or VCI settings will prevent you from connecting to the Internet. To change these settings, click the ADSL Settings link on the main menu. See “ADSL Settings” on page 3-20for more details.
