3. Online LED
This green LED will normally be off but flashes when data is sent or
received on the ADSL port.
4. WLAN LED

flash when data is sent or received over a wireless connection.
5. LAN LEDs (LAN1, LAN2, LAN3 and LAN4)

6. ADSL Port
Use the supplied cable to connect the ADSL port to your phone socket. The
DSL LED on the front panel will light up when the connection is made (see
2 above) and the Online LED (see 3) will turn when you are able to send and
receive data.
7. Power
Connect the supplied, 12V power adapter to this socket.
8. Reset
You can restart the unit by pressing the reset button and releasing it
immediately. If, for any reason, you need to reset the unit to factory
defaults and cannot access the user interface (e.g. if you have changed and
forgotten the password), press the reset button for 10 seconds. Note that
you will lose all your configuration changes when you reset the router to
factory defaults. You may have to use a thin implement, like a straightened
paper-clip, to reach the switch.
9. On/Off Switch
When the power adapter is connected (see 7 above) and this switch is
pressed in, your router will power up.
10. LAN Ports (1, 2, 3 and 4)
There are four Ethernet LAN ports for connection to PCs, network printers
or similar devices. Note the labelling; one LAN LED on the front panel is
associated with one port on the rear panel. Port 1 is associated with the
LAN1 LED, port 2 with LAN2 and so on. If a device is not correctly connected,
using a suitable Ethernet cable, the associated LED will not turn on.

• Check that the Power Adapter is both plugged into a working power socket
and connected to the Router. Check that the On/Off switch on the back of
the Router is pressed in and that the green PWR LED on the Router is
turned on. Only use the power adapter that was supplied with your Router.
• The wired PC should connect to a LAN port of the Router using an Ethernet
cable. The corresponding LAN LED of the Router should be on.
• The Router ADSL port should be connected to your phone socket on the wall.
The DSL LED should be on when there is a valid connection to your ISP. The
Online LED will flash when data is transferred to and from the ADSL port.
• Power up your equipment in the following order: First the ADSL Router and
then your PC. Leave at least 30 seconds between turning on each device.
• The PC should be setup to obtain an IP address automatically from the
Router's DHCP server. See the user manual on the CD for details of how to
setup your PC to obtain an IP address.
• Check that web proxy is disabled on your PC. Go to the
Control Panel and
select
Internet Options. Select the Connections tab and click the LAN
Settings button. Check that the Use Proxy Server option is not ticked.
• Check you can access the Router's web interface. Open a browser and enter

• Check that you have selected the correct WAN connection option and the
ISP details are correct. If you do not have these details, they can be
obtained from your ISP.
• If you have any PPPoE client applications already installed on your PC which
were required when your PC was directly connected to the DSL modem,
they must be disabled.

• Check that the SSID is the same on the Router and the wireless PC.
• Check that the wireless encryption is the same on the Router and the
wireless PC. To help debug a problem, turn off encryption in both the Router
and wireless PC until you can establish a connection. After a change in
encryption, some PCs may have to be restarted.
• The wireless PCs must be set to Infrastructure mode to work with a Router.
• If your computer has both a wired and wireless connection installed, ensure
that the wired Ethernet cable is unplugged.
• Check that the Router WLAN LED is on, to indicate that Wireless networking
is enabled. To enable wireless networking, go to the Router Wireless page
and enable Wireless Networking.
• If there are a number of wireless networks within range, then you may
experience poor wireless performance if the wireless channels are too close
together. Ideally, neighbouring wireless networks should be at least 5
channels apart. The wireless channel is controlled by and set in the Router.
• The Router has a feature called
MAC Filter which controls which wireless PCs
have access to the wireless LAN. If this feature is enabled, then ensure that
the MAC address of your wireless PC card is listed in the
MAC Filter page.
