Important Notes :
If using a BT phone line you must use an ADSL modem router, if using a NTL or
cable phone service you must use an appropriate cable router.
Be aware that when connected to the internet, the router has two IP addresses: internal
and external. The internal address is seen by devices connecting to it’
s Ethernet ports,
the external address represents it’
s connection to the local exchange via the telephone
line.
You can only test an external Internet connection from a PC not connected locally to
the modem/router.
