Router Installation

Step One: Connect Microfilter(s) (if included or required by your ISP)

A microfilter removes interference between voice and ADSL signals. If a microfilter was not included with the router, ask your ISP if microfilters are necessary for your telephony devices.

1. Plug each telephony device cable (telephone, fax machine, etc.) into a microfilter.

2. Connect the microfilter into the telephone wall jack.
   
   

Note: Do not install a microfilter on the cable that will connect your router to the telephone jack unless you have a dual connection microfilter with a connection for both the router and the telephone.

Step Two: Connect Your Router

1. Connect your router to your ADSL line:

   1. Connect one end of the included phone cable to the ADSL port on the router.

   2. Connect the other end of the phone cable to your wall telephone jack.
      
      

 

2. Connect the router to your computer:

   1. Power off your computer.

   2. Connect one end of the supplied Ethernet cable to your computer’s Ethernet adapter.

   3. Connect the other end to the router’s LAN port.
      
      

3. Power up the network:

   1. Connect the supplied power adapter to the 9VDC port on the router.

2. Plug the power adapter into a standard power outlet.

   
   
   

3. Turn on your computer.

 

Step Three: Configure Your Router Using EasyConfigurator

You will need active ADSL and Internet service from your local telephone company or Internet Service Provider (ISP) before you try to go on the Internet. You may need some of the following information from your ISP:

• VPI/VCI values
• Encapsulation mode
• Protocol type
• Authentication (PAP or CHAP) for PPP connections
• IP address (if assigned by your ISP)
• Your user name and password (if they were assigned by your ISP)
• Subnet mask, gateway, and DNS server information

1. Insert the USRobotics Installation CD-ROM into your computer’s CD or DVD ROM drive and do one of the following:

   • Windows:

     1. If the CD doesn’t start automatically, start it manually as follows:

     • Windows Vista: Click Windows Start > Computer.

     • Windows XP: Click Windows Start > My Computer.

     • Windows 2000, Me, and 98SE: On the desktop, double-click My Computer.

     2. Double-click your CD drive.

     3. Select your preferred language, then read the license agreement and click OK.

     4. Click Setup. It can take up to one minute for EasyConfigurator to start.

   • Linux: Open the CD-ROM and double-click EasyConfigurator linux-script. It can take up to one minute for EasyConfigurator to start.

2. Select your country and your Internet Service Provider (ISP) from the drop-down lists on the ADSL page. If your country or ISP does not appear in the list, select Other for the country and manually enter the settings provided by your ISP.
   
   You may need to enter the user name and password for your ADSL connection after making your selections.

3. Click Save.

4. You will be switched to the Status tab. There will be a message at the top of the page that indicates if your ADSL connection has been established. If the message indicates that there is no ADSL connection, see "Troubleshooting".

5. Click the Login tab, enter a password for the admin account and click Save.

   Note: The user name admin and the password you enter will be used in the future when you log in to the router.

6. Click the Status tab, and click Configure Wireless Security. You will be connected to the router configuration pages where you can enter the Network Name and wireless security settings (Method and Pass phrase or Key) for your router.

   Caution: If you do not enable a wireless security method on the router, your wireless network will be unsecured. Unauthorised wireless devices may be able to connect to your network, use your Internet connection, and access computers on the network.

7. Close EasyConfigurator.

Notice:
If you are installing the Wireless ADSL2+ Router and a USRobotics Wireless PCI Adapter or Wireless USB Adapter, refer to the Quick Installation Guide or User Guide for the adapter to continue the installation of your wireless products.

Back Up Your Configuration Settings

1. On your computer, start a Web browser.

2. In the location or address line type 192.168.1.1 and press ENTER to access the router configuration pages. When prompted, enter the user name and password for the router.

3. Select Back Up Settings from the Device menu.

4. Click Back Up.
   Your system will prompt you to save or open the file. Select Save.
