Connecting the Gateway to the Internet
This chapter describes how to set up the gateway on your Local Area Network (LAN), connect to
the Internet, how to configure your DG824M Wireless ADSL Modem Gateway for Internet access
using the Setup Wizard, or how to manually configure your Internet connection.
What You Will Need Before You Begin
You need to prepare these three things before you can establish an Internet connection through
your gateway:
1.
The gateway connected to an ADSL line and a computer properly connected to the gateway as
explained below.
2.
Active Internet service such as that provided by an ADSL account.
3.
The Internet Service Provider (ISP) configuration information for your DSL account.
ADSL Microfilter Requirements
ADSL technology uses the same wires as your telephone service. However, ADSL adds signals to
the telephone lines which create noise in the telephone service. You must use ADSL microfilters to
filter out these signals before they reach your telephone.
