Quick Start Guide

Installation
For DSL connections, connect one end of the supplied DSL cable to the
DSL port on the gateway and the other end to the DSL wall jack
installed by your provider.
For all other devices, connect an Ethernet cable from the device to
any of the LAN ports on the gateway.
Connect the power adapter to a wall outlet and to the Power port on
the gateway. For additional protection, connect the power cord to a
surge protector. Press the ON/OFF button on the gateway to turn it
on.
Your gateway is setting up to connect to the Internet. This process may take a
few minutes. If you are unable to connect to the Internet, verify that all cable
connections are in place and that the gateway’s power is turned on.
