What to do

How to do it

First, check that your phone 
line is working...

Pick up or plug in a phone and check for a dial tone. 

If you don’t hear a dial tone, or the line is noisy, there may be a 
fault on your phone line. Contact your phone provider and try 
connecting to broadband again when it’s fixed.

If your phone line is OK, 
check your broadband 
equipment...

1. 

Check that every device connected to your phone line (e.g.  
answerphones, alarms etc.) is using a microfilter. 

2. 

If checking microfilters hasn’t fixed the problem, unplug 
everything from your phone line (in all sockets), leaving only 
your router connected and try again.

3. 

If the problem continues, connect the router to your master 
phone socket (it’s usually the one closest to where the line 
enters your premises) and try again.

If steps 2 or 3 fixed the problem, then either an extension or 
one of the devices connected to your line is the cause of the 
problem. You can find out which by plugging your devices back in 
one at a time.

If the Broadband light still 
isn’t lit after trying the 
above...

Contact your IT helpdesk or speak to your corporate 
administrator for further assistance.

If the Broadband light is not lit

There’s a problem with your broadband signal. Please follow the steps below.

1. 

Connect the stand to the bottom of the router and make sure it’s steady when you stand it up.

2. 

Plug the power cable into the back of your router and the other end into a power socket.

3. 

Plug the grey Internet cable into the 

DSL

 socket on your router. Plug the other end of the 

cable into the 

DSL

 socket of the microfilter. Plug the microfilter into your phone socket.

4. 

Press the black power button (marked 

ON/OFF

) on the back of your router to switch it on. 

Wait for the 

Power

 and 

Broadband

 lights to come on.

Step 1 – Set up your router
