Connect the First Computer to the Gateway
Congratulations on the purchase of your 2Wire gateway. To install your gateway and configure your network,
follow these steps.
Note: Features for different models may vary. Product details will be specified for each particular
model.
Choose a Computer and Connection Type
There are many ways to set up your network, but typically the first computer is located in the same room as
the gateway and your DSL connection. Ethernet is the preferred connection method for your first computer,
although instructions for connecting via wireless and USB are also provided.
The first computer you connect to the network is used to configure the 2Wire gateway for proper operation.
Choose one of the following methods to connect your first computer to the gateway. Save and close all open
programs before you begin connecting your gateway.

Wireless page 5
USB page 8
Install the DSL Filter
Note: New DSL customers only. Existing DSL customers with filters already installed should
proceed to Ethernet Connection on page 4, Wireless Connection on page 5, or USB Connection
on page 8.
Regular telephone and Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) signals are carried over the same line. Converting your
regular telephone line to DSL can cause high-pitched tones and static when using the phone.
Installing a filter on every telephone or telephone device sharing the same telephone number as your DSL
separates these signals and eliminates the noise.
1. Do not install DSL filters if your telephone line is only carrying a DSL signal.

2. Insert the DSL filter into the jack.
3. If you have a phone, answering machine, fax machine, satellite TV
equipment, or other phone device in this jack location, plug it into
the filter port labeled

PHONE.
For Wall-Mounted Phones
If you have a wall-mounted telephone, install a wall-mount DSL filter following these steps.
1. Lift the telephone from the wall pegs and disconnect the phone cord from the wall jack.
2. Connect the telephone cord from the back
of the DSL filter into the wall jack. Align the
keyhole slots on the filter with the wall plate
pegs and press down gently to secure.
3. Connect the telephone cord to the phone
jack located on the front of the mounted
filter.
4. Attach the telephone to the mounting pegs on the DSL filter and your installation is complete.
Note: The extra phone jack located at the bottom of the filter (labeled LINE) is provided should
you wish to connect your gateway at this phone connection.
