Gathering items for installation

To install the gateway, you will need:
Gateway
Power adapter
DSL cable
Ethernet cable (optional), to connect a computer directly to the gateway using a
wired connection
Phone cable (optional), for connecting voice telephone service
Gateway stand (optional), for installing the gateway vertically
DSL filter (optional), for each phone on the same line as the gateway

Finding a suitable location

Before you install the gateway, find an appropriate location for it. Set up the gateway near the main computer or any other device that will connect to it through the wired Ethernet ports.
The gateway also serves as a wireless access point, so you should consider the wireless network when choosing the location for the gateway. Consider the following when determining the location of the gateway:
Place the gateway at least 5 ft (1.5 m) from cordless phones, microwave ovens, or
other electronic devices to avoid potential interference, and at least 6 in (15 cm) from your television to avoid audio hissing or static.
Place the gateway in an open area to minimize interference from its surroundings.
Wireless signal strength is much stronger in an open area than an area with obstructions. In a single-story building, place the gateway as high and as close to each wireless device as possible.
Keep the gateway away from large metal objects. Metal objects can reflect or
obstruct signals, which can negatively impact wireless signal quality.
Keep the gateway away from water sources like water coolers or aquariums.
Note: We recommend that you use the included stand to install the gateway vertically. This prevents things from being stacked on top of it, which can block vents and cause the gateway to overheat.

Installing DSL filters

DSL signals are carried over the same lines as regular phone signals. Converting your regular phone line to DSL can cause high-pitched tones and static when you use the phone. To eliminate the noise, you can install DSL filters on every phone or phone device that shares the same phone number as your DSL.
You need one DSL filter for each phone device (such as a desktop phone, analog modem, FAX, or answering machine). If you have several phone devices connected to each other and are using a single phone jack, install only one DSL filter between the phone jack and the first device in the series.
Note: Do not install a DSL filter on the line that is connected to the DSL gateway.

Installing a DSL inline filter

To use a filter with most phone devices, you must install the DSL filter between the device and the phone jack.
1. Connect the cable from your device to the DSL filter.
2. Connect the cable from the DSL filter to your phone jack.
Chapter 2 Installing the Gateway 7
