Installation
Run the Setup CD-ROM to install the Modem Router. If you
have problems running the Setup CD-ROM, refer to this
chapter.
Connection
Make sure that all the devices that you are working with

are powered down, including your computer(s) and
the Modem Router. If you have a modem connected
to your network, disconnect it. The Modem Router
replaces your modem.
Connect one end of the provided Ethernet cable to

your computer’s Ethernet adapter. Connect the other
end of the Ethernet cable to one of the Ethernet ports
on the back of the Modem Router.
Connect the Computer
Repeat step 2 for every computer or device that you

want to connect to the Modem Router via Ethernet. If
you connect more than four computers to the Modem
Router, you also need to connect a switch to the
Modem Router.
NOTE:
If your computer’s Ethernet adapter
is not set up, refer to the Ethernet adapter’s
documentation for more information.
Connect one end of the phone cable to the DSL port

jack with ADSL service or microfilter.
NOTE:
To avoid interference, you may need
to place a microfilter or splitter between the
phone cable and wall jack. Contact your ISP to
determine if one is required. (UK residents need
to connect the microfilter to the wall phone jack
with ADSL service and then connect one end
of the provided phone cable to the DSL port
on it.) If you have more than one phone and
you experience static on the line after installing
the Modem Router, then you need to install an
additional microfilter for each phone or fax that
you use. If you use ISDN, then you do not need a
microfilter.
