NETGEAR DG834Gv1 - 54 Mbps Wireless ADSL Firewall... User manual

Installation Guide
Before you begin, locate the ADSL configuration information from your
Internet Service Provider (ISP). Also, if you purchased the DG834G in a
country where a microfilter is not included, you must acquire one.
1
1Connect the DG834G to the ADSL Line
ADSL signals degrade phone sound quality. Microfilters block such
problems and are required for each phone or fax. There are two types:
one-line microfilters; and two-line microfilters which include a built-in
splitter. Sharing a phone outlet with two devices requires a splitter.
The procedure below illustrates using a
two-line combo microfilter/splitter. You
can accomplish the same result using a
one-line microfilter with a separate phone
line splitter.
a. Insert the filter into the phone outlet
and connect the phone to the phone
connector (A).
b. Turn off your computer.
c. Connect the ADSL port (B) of the DG834G to the ADSL
connector of the two-line filter.
Note: Improperly connecting a filter to your DG834G will block
ADSL signals and prevent connecting to the Internet.
d. Connect the Ethernet cable (C) from a LAN port of your
DG834G to the Ethernet adapter in your computer.
e. Plug in the router and verify the following:
The power light is lit after applying power to the router.
The ADSL link light is solid green, indicating a link has
been established to the ADSL network.

DSL

f. Now, turn on your computer and verify the following:
The local lights are lit for any connected computers.
If software usually logs you in to the Internet, do not run it.
The Internet Explorer Tools Internet Options Connections page
should be set to “Never dial a connection.”
g. Install a filter on each phone device that shares the phone line
with your router.
Note: Use one-line filters for connecting additional phones.
