!If you connect successfully, your installation is complete and you are ready to use the modem with your computer. You are done with this user’s guide, unless you want to use the modem with a router. To do that, please continue below with Using a Router with Your ADSL Bridge Modem.
!If you are unable to access the Web, wait a few minutes and try again. Your modem may need more time to establish a connection with your Internet service provider. If you are still unable to connect after a few minutes, refer to Appendix A: Troubleshooting Tips on page 37.
Using a Router with Your ADSL Bridge Modem
Disconnect the ADSL Bridge modem from your computer, and then connect the ADSL Bridge modem to your router’s WAN Ethernet port. In setting up your router according to its instructions, please note the following:
•If you are using DHCP, the WAN port of the router must be set up to use DHCP.
•If you are using a static IP address, you must specify that address for the WAN port of the router. The computers connected to the LAN ports of the router should have their TCP/IP settings set for DHCP.
•If your Internet service provider gave you PPPoE client software, you must set up your router to terminate a PPPoE connection.
