Setup Guide
Section 4. Connecting additional
computers or devices
Wireless:
1. From a wired connection, access your router
the same way you did in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 of
this guide. Once you are logged in to your
router, click on wireless setup under the main
menu on the left side of the screen.
2. Follow the instructions provided on your
screen to complete the wireless setup. Please
note that we recommend an “Encryption Mode”
of WPA and an “Encryption Type: of TKIP. This
is a more secure method that uses a password
to protect your wireless from unauthorized access.
Wired:
1. Use a second Ethernet cable (not provided)
and plug one end into an unused LAN port on
the back of your router and the other end into
the Ethernet port of your computer, Xbox,
PS2/3, Wii, etc..
Additional Ethernet cables may be purchased
from Cal-Ore or from local office supply stores.
Custom lengths and home wiring services are
available.
Please call our office at 800-858-2399 for more

The purpose of this guide is to help you set up
your new DSL router. If at any time you have
problems please contact our 24/7 tech support
for help at 1-800-218-6118.
Inventory:
Open the box containing your new ClearAccess
router. You should have the following items:
1 ClearAccess router
1 Power supply
1 Phone cord
1 Yellow Ethernet cable
2 DSL line filters
1 Customer information sheet
Section 1. Installing Phone Filters
DSL Line filters filter out the DSL signal so you
cannot hear it. These filters should be installed
on all phones, fax machines, satellite receivers,
etc. that share the same line as your DSL service. Please note that you DO NOT put a DSL
filter on the phone cord that goes from the wall
jack, or T Splitter, to your DSL router.
Section 2. Installing DSL Router
(Diagram above shows T-adapter and single filter. Dual filters,
with T adapter built in, are also available for a minimal fee.)
1. If using a T Splitter, as in the diagram above,
plug the splitter into your wall jack then plug your
DSL line filter into one side of the filter. Then,
plug your phone, fax machine, satellite receiver,
etc. into the DSL filter. On the other side of the
splitter, plug in one end of the supplied phone
cord. Plug the other end into your DSL router.
If you are not using a T Splitter to share your wall
jack with both your DSL and a phone, as in the
diagram above, plug one end of the supplied
phone cord into your wall jack and the other end
into your DSL router.
2. Next, take the supplied yellow Ethernet cable
and plug one end into one of the LAN ports on
the back of the router and the other end into the
Ethernet port on your computer, Xbox, PS2/3,
WII, etc..
3. Plug the supplied power cord into the router
and then into an available nearby outlet. The
DSL router will automatically turn on when you
plug in the power. We strongly recommend the
use of a quality power strip to help protect your
equipment.
IMPORTANT!!! LEAVE THE ROUTER
PLUGGED IN FOR 10 MINUTES IN
ORDER TO PROPERLY CONFIGURE.

Section 3: Log into your Router
1. You can now log into your router and watch the
configuration progress. Open your internet browser
(e.g. Safari, Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox) and
type 192.168.50.1 into the address bar then press
Enter on your keyboard or click your browser’s GO
button. The ClearAccess router login webpage

MAC address. Example 001E8C) and login to the
router. The MAC address can be found on the bottom of your router. Both the username and password are case sensitive. Letters should be entered
in all CAPS.
3. After logging in, you will see three circles that
indicate your router’s configuration progress. They
will change between red, yellow and green throughout the configuration process. When all three circles
turn green, your router is done being configured and
your internet connection is ready to use. If all three
circles do not turn green after 5 to 10 minutes,
please contact our 24/7 technical support at 1-800218-6118.
