Planning Your Network
Before moving ahead to setup your network, it is a good idea to draw out a network
diagram to help identify the devices you want to include in the network and plan out
how to connect these devices. This will help you estimate the number of power sockets
and network cable length you need.
Sample network diagram
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.

Hardware Setup
When installing the router, the common practice is to have the router, the main
computer, and phone jack in the same room. The room should also have enough
electrical outlets to match your needs.
To setup the hardware:
1. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable from the router’s ETHERNET port and then plug
the other end into the Ethernet port in 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.
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
A phone line can carry phone call and Internet signals. When you enable the phone
line for high speed Internet, the connection produces high-pitched tones when using
the phone. Installing a Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) splitter separates the two
signals and eliminates the noise.
To setup the telephone POTS Splitter:
1. Locate the phone jack in your house.
2. Insert the POTS Splitter into the phone jack.
3. 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 9V DC port into the electrical outlet
and then press ON.

WAN
Wide Area Network refers to the configurations you perform to establish an Internet
connection. There are several types of WAN connections that require different settings.
New Connection
Your router supports the creation of new connections. If you have multiple virtual
connections, you may need to utilize the static routing capabilities of the modem to pass
data correctly.
WAN connection types include:
PPPoE Connection
PPPoA Connection
Static Connection
DHCP Connection
Bridge Connection
CLIP Connection

PPPoE Connection
PPPoE is a common WAN connection type used to connect to the Internet. PPP, or point-
to-point protocol, is a method of establishing a network connection/session between
network hosts. PPPoE is a protocol for encapsulating PPP frames in Ethernet frames and
is described in RFC 2516. PPPoE provides the ability to connect to a network of hosts over
a simple bridging access device to a remote access concentrator. With this model, each
router uses its own PPP stack. Access control, billing, and type of service control can all
be done on a per-user rather than per-site basis.

User Manual
PPPoA Connection
Another commonly used WAN connection type is PPPoA. PPPoA is also known as RFC
2364. It is a method of encapsulating PPP packets in ATM cells that are carried over the
DSL line. PPP, or point-to-point protocol, is a method of establishing a network
connection/session between network hosts. It usually provides a mechanism of
authenticating users. Logical Link Control (LLC) and Virtual Circuit (VC) are two different
methods of encapsulating the PPP packet. Contact your service provider to determine
which encapsulation is being used on your Internet connection.
