Hello, thanks for choosing our wireless router. With
this guide we’ll take ou through the setup. Don’t
let all the wires intimidate ou, putting it together
is a piece of cake.
If at an time ou do get stuck, there’s lots more
help on our website:
Fitting your microfilters
Fitting your microfiltersFitting your microfilters
Fitting your microfilters
1) Plug a microfilter into our
telephone socket. If ou had
to unplug something, ou can
plug it back into the “Phone”
socket of the
microfilter. It’s best to leave
it out until ou’ve got
ever thing working though.
Microfilters look small and
unimportant but the ’re what
keep our phone and Internet
services from interfering with each other.
Follow these golden rules to keep your
broadband fast and reliable.
2) Plug the Power Adapter into the back of our
router and the other end of the adapter into the
nearest wall socket.
Next, screw the wireless aerial into the socket on
the back of the router.
You’ll also find:
• The wireless aerial
• A CD that includes the manual.
You don't need the CD and quick install guide to
get started, but the user guide on the CD will help
ou use the router's advanced features.

• Put a microfilter on all the telephone
extensions that have something plugged
into them.
• Avoid using old extension cables, the less
internal wiring involved the better.
• Don’t plug one microfilter into the socket of
another microfilter.
3) Plug one end of the gre broadband cable into
the DSL socket on the back of the router, plug the
other end into the microfilter (attached to your
phone line in step 1).
4) Make sure power is switched on and watch the
lights on the front of the router.
5) The Power light will first go red and the DSL
light will flash. Wait until the power light turns
green and the DSL light stops flashing before
continuing.

Is the DSL light flashing?
Check our microfilters - there should be one in
each telephone extension on that has something
plugged into it. Remember not to use two
microfilters on the same extension.
If ou are using a telephone extension cable, tr
connecting our router to the main telephone
socket. Telephone extensions are a common cause
of connection problems, we recommend wireless
rather than a telephone extension cable.
Is the Internet light off or red?
T pe our username and password in again.
Double check the email we sent ou to confirm
ou’ve got it right.
If ou’re having problems with our router, ou can
return ever thing to the default setting b using
the reset button.
