Hardware connections

ADSL connection

Use the ADSL splitter supplied in the package to split ADSL signal and telephone service. First connect the splitter to the wall telephone outlet either by just plugging your splitter onto the outlet or by inserting the line connector into the outlet. Then connect your ASUS WL-600g to the ADSL or mode port of the splitter with the telephone cable supplied in the package. Use another telephone cable to connect your telephone to the phone port of the ADSL splitter.

The format of the connector on the supplied splitter (line or plug) may differ by region.

Ethernet connection

Use Category 5 (CAT5) Ethernet cable to build up your wired LAN connections. The ASUS WL-600g Wireless ADSL2/ 2+ Home Gateway is a Fast Ethernet device that provides 100Mbps network connection. To ensure the connection quality, use CAT5 Ethernet cable to connect your network devices, such as desktop computers and network printers.

Splitter *: The name or the location of the ports on the supplied splitter may vary by region.

Wireless connection

To access Internet via wireless connection, you need to install an IEEE802.11b/g wireless adapter on your computer, such as ASUS WL-167g, WL-100gE, WL-100gD, WL-169gE, and WL-106gM.
