Quick Setup
Before you Start
. You will need your username and password from your Internet service provider .
. All devices you use on your phone line will need to have an ADSL Line Filter attached to them. This includes Telephones, Fax
Machines, Dial-up Modems etc. Plug these into the PHONE socket of the ADSL Line Filter (See Figure 1).
Installing your Modem
Step 1: Turn off your computer.
Step 2: Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into one of the sockets marked “Ethernet” on the back of the modem (See Figure 2).
The other end of the cable is plugged into the Ethernet socket on the back of your computer.
Step 3: Plug one end of the Phone Cable into the socket marked (DSL) on the back of the modem (See Figure2). The other end
of the cable is plugged into the socket marked (DSL) on the ADSL Line Filter.
Step 4: Plug the power adaptor into the “PWR” socket on the back of the modem (See Figure 2). Plug the other end of the
power adaptor into the wall socket.
Step 5: Plug the ADSL Line Filter into the wall jackpoint (See Figure 3)
Step 6: Turn on the power at the wall socket and ensure the modem is turned on by pushing in the power button (See Figure 2).
Step 7: Turn on your computer.

Step 10: Enter your username and password provided by your Internet service provider then click the “Connect” button on the

Wireless Security
Setting Up Basic Encryption
Encryption minimises the chances of people outside of your network using your connection.
Step 1: Open your internet browser (eg Internet Explorer) to the Modem Control Panel (see Step 8 under Installing your
Modem). Enter “admin” for both fields if prompted.
Step 2: Click on the Wireless icon at the top of the screen and click Security from the left hand menu. At a minimum we
recommend the following settings:
Wireless Security WPA-PSK
WPA Data Encryption TKIP
WPA Pre-Shared Key Password of your choosing 8 to 63 characters long
WPA Group Rekey Interval 3600
Make note of your Pre-Shared Key as this will not be visible in your modem settings once applied. You will require
your Pre-Shared Key when setting up a device to connect to your wireless connection.
Step 3: Click Apply when finished.
Hiding Your SSID
By default, the wireless network name or SSID is set to be periodically broadcast by your modem to advertise its presence. This
can be deactivated to minimise the chances of another person detecting and attempting to use your wireless connection.
Step 1: Open your internet browser (eg Internet Explorer) to the Modem Control Panel (see Step 8 under Installing your
Modem). Enter “admin” for both fields if prompted.
Step 2: Click on the Wireless icon at the top of the screen and click Basic Settings from the left hand menu.
Step 3: Set the Hide Access Point by ticking the box and click Apply.
Once this is enabled you will need to manually enter the name of your wireless network into the settings of any new device you
want to connect to your wireless connection.

Troubleshooting
Q1. Cannot connect to the Internet?
• If the DSL light is off this means the broadband service may not have been activated on your telephone line.
Make sure the Phone Cable is plugged into the DSL socket on the modem and the other end is plugged into
the wall socket. If it is, contact your Internet provider to confirm that the broadband service has been
correctly set up.
Q2. Cannot browse the Internet?
• Check that the modem’s “DSL” light is on. Check that the “Ethernet” cable is firmly plugged in.
• Perform a PING test. In Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7, click “Start” then “Run”. Type “Command” then
click OK. Type ping “192.168.1.1” then press “Enter”. The response should resemble:
Pinging 192.168.1.1 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=4ms TTL=30
If there is a similar response, the router is communicating with your computer correctly and the problem lies
elsewhere. If the result is Request timed out, there may be a network problem. Check that the “Ethernet”
cable is firmly plugged in.
• Disable any personal firewall or virus checker temporarily.
• If you are using Internet Explorer, go to “Tools” on the browser menu and select “Internet options” then
“Security” and reset the security level by clicking on the “Default Level” button.
