In Step 1, you will connect the
Gateway to your ADSL line and to
the computers in your home or
business.
First, make sure that all the devices
that you’ll be working with are
powered down, including your PCs
and the Gateway.
AConnect one end of the
provided phone cable to the
ADSL port that is on the back of
the Gateway. (Figure A)
BConnect the other end of the
phone cable to the wall jack
with ADSL service. (Figure B)
CConnect one end of the
provided Ethernet cable to
your PC’s Ethernet adapter
(Figure C1). Connect the other
end of the cable to one of the
LAN ports on the back of the
Gateway (Figure C2). Repeat
this process for every PC that
you want to connect to the
Gateway.
If you are connecting more
than four PCs to the Gateway,
you will also need to connect
a hub or switch to the
Gateway.

Connect the ADSL Gateway
In Step 2, you will configure your
Linksys Wireless-G ADSL Gateway to
be able to gain access to the
Internet through your Internet Service
Provider (ISP). You will need the setup
information provided by your ADSL
ISP. If you do not have this
information, please contact them
before proceeding.
The instructions from your ISP tell you
how to set up your PC for Internet
access. Because you are now using
the Gateway to share Internet
access among several computers,
you will use the setup information to
configure the Gateway instead of
your PC.
NOTE: You only need to
configure the Gateway
once using the first
computer you set up.
AOpen your web browser. (You
may get an error message at
this point. Continue following
these directions.) Enter
http://192.168.1.1 in the web
browser’s Address field. Press
the Enter key.
BAn Enter Network Password
window, shown in Figure B, will
appear (Windows XP users will
see a Connect to 192.168.1.1
window). Enter admin in
lowercase letters in the User
Name field, and enter admin

turn on the first PC that you
want to use to configure the
Gateway.

microfilter may be
necessary between
each phone and wall
jack to prevent
interference. Contact
your ISP if you have any
questions.

ADSL Gateway.
