Planning Your Network
Before moving ahead to setup your network, it is a good idea to draw out a network diagram to
help identify your network devices and plan out how to connect these devices. The illustration
below is an example of a network diagram.
Each port in the router can be used for different connections. For example:
Ethernet 1 – connect to a desktop
Ethernet 2 – connect to a set top box
Ethernet 3 – connect to a Smart TV
Ethernet 4 – connect to a Game console
Wireless – connect a wireless laptop to the built in wireless access point
To create a network diagram:
For wireless devices, identify the wireless devices you want to include in the
network.
For wired devices, identify which router port you want to use for each device.

Setup the Device
When installing the router, find an area where there are enough electrical outlets for the
router, the main computer, and your other computer devices.
To setup the router:
1. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable from the router’s Ethernet port and then plug
the other end into the Ethernet port of your computer.
2. If you have another device you need to connect through wire into the router, use
another piece of Ethernet cable. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable from the
computer’s Ethernet port and then plug the other end into an available Ethernet
port in the router. (Applicable for multi-port devices)
3. Plug one end of the telephone cable from the POTS Splitter’s ADSL port and then
plug the other end into the router’s DSL port.
POTS Splitter (DSL Microfilter)
Your phone line carries both phone calls and Internet signals. When you are using
the Internet, the connection produces high-pitched tones that can affect your voice
calls when using the phone. Installing a Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) splitter
separates your phone call signals and internet signals which eliminates the noise.
U s e r M a n u a l 8
To setup a telephone on the POTS Splitter (DSL Microfilter):
a. Locate the phone jack in your house.
b. Insert the POTS Splitter into the phone jack.
c. Plug one end of the telephone cable from the POTS Splitter’s TEL port
and then plug the other end into the telephone.
4. Connect the power adapter from the router’s 12V 1.0A DC port into the power
outlet.
5. Press the ON/OFF switch to turn on the device.
