Appendix A: Install the Gateway on Other
Operating Systems
Follow these instructions if you are using an operating system that is not supported by the 2Wire CD (such
as any Macintosh OS prior to 10.2, UNIX, or Linux).
There are many ways to set up your network, but typically the first computer is located in the same room as
the gateway and your DSL connection. Ethernet is the preferred connection method for your first computer,
although instructions for connecting via USB are also provided.
