Overview

The Device is a VDSL2 router and Ethernet gateway with a four-port built-in Ethernet switch and IEEE 802.11n wireless. The Device allows wired and wireless clients to safely access the Internet. The USB port allows you to connect a USB memory stick or USB hard drive for storing or sharing files through the network.

Requirements

Make sure you have the following things before you start.

• Internet access - account information provided by your ISP, such as user name, password, and so on.

• Internet Explorer 6.0 and later versions, with JavaScript enabled, or Mozilla Firefox 3 and later versions or Safari 2.0 and later versions.

Hardware Setup

To connect your Device:

1. Use a telephone cable to connect your Device’s DSL port to a telephone jack (or the DSL or modem jack on a splitter if you have one).

2. ETHERNET: Use an Ethernet cable to connect a computer to a LAN port for initial configuration and/or Internet access.

3. USB: You can connect a USB memory stick or a USB hard drive for

file sharing. The Device automatically detects the USB device. Alternatively, use a USB cable (not provided) to connect a USB printer to this port.

4. POWER: Use the provided power adaptor to connect the POWER socket to an appropriate power source. Make sure the power at the outlet is on. After connecting the power adaptor, look at the lights on the front panel.

•The POWER light blinks while your Device starts up and then stays on once it is ready.

•The DSL light is either amber or green (depending on your configuration method, see Internet Connection Setup) when your Device has a DSL connection.

•The INTERNET light turns on when the gateway is able to access the Internet and will blink when your Device is sending or receiving data.

•The WAN/LAN light is on if it is properly connected and blinks when there is traffic.

• Each ETHERNET light is on if the corresponding LAN port is properly connected and blinks when there is traffic.

•The USB light turns on when there is a USB printer or memory device is connected to the Device and blinks when transmitting data.

•The Wi-Fi 2.4G light is green when the wireless LAN is ready and blinks when there is traffic.

•The WPS light is green when WPS is enabled and blinks amber while WPS is in process.

If the lights do not come on, check your connections and inspect your cables

for damage. If the lights are still off, contact technical support.

Internet Connection Setup

Your Device can automatically detect and configure your Internet connection once the hardware is connected properly.

Automatic Connection

1. Open your web browser to a website. Wait while your Device tries to

detect your DSL connection to your ISP. This may take a few minutes.

2. After it detects the connection, the DSL light shows amber on your Device and the INTERNET light comes on when the Internet is ready for you to use. If you have a PPPoE connection, you will have to enter the user name and password provided by your ISP.

3. Go to Set Up a Wireless Network if you wish to configure your wireless settings.

4. If the automatic connection is not successful, check your connections and restart the Device. Also, make sure you have entered the user name and password correctly. If you still cannot access the Internet, follow the steps in the next section to manually configure the Internet connection.

Manual Connection

You can also manually log into the Device’s Web Configurator and configure the Internet connection.
