Estimated time for this step: 10 minutes

1. Attach the two wireless antennas included in your kit to your

router as shown. The antennas should be attached

finger tight and positioned straight up for the best reception.

2. Make sure that the end of the gray phone cord is still con-

nected to the white (DSL) port of the DSL filter you

prepared in Step 1. Take the free end of the gray phone

cord and plug it into the DSL port on the back of the

router, color-coded in gray.

3. Connect the small, cylindrical end of the power adapter to

your wireless router port labeled “Power.” Plug the other

end of the power adapter into an electrical outlet.

4. Move the router’s power switch to the “ON” position.

The DSL light at the front of the modem will turn green

in about five minutes. Wait until the green light becomes

steady, not blinking.

Important: The DSL light must be

solid green before you proceed to Step 3.

To connect an Ethernet computer, continue with #5.

To connect a wireless computer, skip to #6.

TIP

WHAT IF THE DSL LIGHT DOESN’T TURN SOLID GREEN OR
CONTINUES TO BLINK?

Check that you’ve connected everything correctly and that the
router’s power light is on. You may also want to make sure the
electrical outlet and phone jack are working.
