Hardware connections
ADSL connection
Use the ADSL splitter supplied in the package to split ADSL signal and telephone
service. First connect the splitter to the wall telephone outlet either by just plugging your
splitter onto the outlet or by inserting the line connector into the outlet. Then connect
your ASUS WL-600g to the ADSL or mode port of the splitter with the telephone cable
supplied in the package. Use another telephone cable to connect your telephone to the
phone port of the ADSL splitter.
The format of the connector on the supplied splitter (line or plug) may differ
by region.
Wireless connection
To access Internet via wireless connection, you need to install an IEEE802.11b/g
wireless adapter on your computer, such as ASUS WL-167g, WL-100gE, WL-100gD,
WL-169gE, and WL-106gM.
Ethernet connection
Use Category 5 (CAT5) Ethernet cable to build up your wired LAN connections. The
ASUS WL-600g Wireless ADSL2/ 2+ Home Gateway is a Fast Ethernet device that
provides 100Mbps network connection. To ensure the connection quality, use CAT5
Ethernet cable to connect your network devices, such as desktop computers and
network printers.
