Wireless gateway set-up
Step 1
If you have a designated ADSL jack/potsplitter reserved specifically for internet service, plug the telephone cable directly into the ADSL jack and proceed to Step 4. If not, please proceed to Step 2.
Step 2
Locate the telephone jack closest to your computer.
Option 1
If the jack will be used for a telephone or other device such as a fax or answering machine as well, insert a microfilter into one of two ports of the
telephone jack splitter and connect your telephone to that microfilter.
Microfilters eliminate interference during telephone calls.
