Before You Begin
Make sure that your DSL service is active before you install the
modem router. You need the information that is listed here to install
your DSL modem and connect to the Internet. Locate it and have it on
hand before you start the installation procedure.
• DSL user name and password. This information is included in
the welcome letter your DSL ISP sent you when you signed up for
your service. Record your DSL Internet service account user
name and password here:
• Your telephone number or DSL account number. If you do not
have voice service, you can use your DSL account number in
place of a phone number.

that shares the line with DSL service. Examples of devices are
telephones, fax machines, answering machines, and caller ID
displays.
1. Connect the ADSL.
a. Install an ADSL filter/splitter between the phone line and the
phone.
b. Connect the ADSL port of the modem router to the ADSL
port of the filter/splitter.
c. If your modem router and telephone connect to the same
phone line, use an ADSL filter/splitter for every phone line in
the house.

Preset Wireless Security
This product has a unique WiFi network name (SSID) and network
key (password). To protect and maximize your wireless security, the
default SSID and network key (password) are uniquely generated for
every device, like a serial number. This information is on the label on
the bottom of the product.
On Networks recommends that you do not change the preset WiFi
network name (SSID) and network key (password). If you do for any
reason change the settings, the security SSID and password on the
bottom of the product no longer apply.

Add Wireless Devices to the Network
Choose either the manual or Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) method to
add wireless computers and other devices to your wireless network.
WPS Method
When your wireless device supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup),
you might be prompted to press the WPS button on the router instead
of entering a password. If you are prompted:
1. Press the WPS button on the router.
2. Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on the client device.
Otherwise, follow the WPS instructions that came with your wireless
device to complete the WPS process. The device is then connected
to your router.
3. Repeat this process to add other WPS wireless devices.
Note: WPS does not support WEP security. If you try to connect a
WEP client to your network using WPS, it does not work.
Manual Method
1. On the wireless device (iPhone, laptop, computer, or gaming
device) that you want to connect to your router, open the
software utility that manages the device wireless connections.
This utility scans for all wireless networks in your area.
2. Look for the preset WiFi network name (SSID) and select it. The
SSID is on the product label on the bottom of the router.
Note: If you changed the name of your network during the setup
process, look for that network name.
3. Enter the preset password (or your custom password if you
changed it), and click Connect.
Repeat steps 1–3 to add other wireless devices.

Troubleshooting
When the browser does not display the web page:
• Make sure that the computer is connected to one of the four LAN
Ethernet ports, or wirelessly to the router.
• Make sure that the modem router has full power and that the WiFi
LED is lit.
• Close and reopen the browser to make sure that the browser
does not cache the previous page.
• Browse to http://www.mywifirouter.com.
• If the computer is set to a static or fixed IP address (which is not
common), change the setting to obtain an IP address from the
modem router. Refer to the manual that came with your computer
for instructions.

If the modem router is unable to access the Internet:
1. Check your cables.
• Disconnect and reconnect each cable. There is usually an
audible click when the cable is correctly connected.
• See if the telephone cable connecting your DSL modem
router to the wall jack is plugged into a filter. A filter is not
required when you do not have telephone voice service. A
filter that is installed where it is not needed eliminates your
ADSL signal.
2. Power down your DSL modem router, and then power it up again.
a. Shut down your computer and turn off the modem router.
b. Unplug the power adapter and all other cables from the back
of the DSL modem router.
c. Wait 30 seconds, then reconnect the cables and adapter to
your DSL modem router, and turn it on.
d. Make sure that the router Power LED is on. If the LED is off,
try plugging the adapter into another power outlet.
e. Turn your computer back on, and wait for the indicator LEDs
to turn green.
3. Open a web browser and try to access the Internet.
When steps 1–3 do not resolve the problem:
4. Reset your modem.
To reset your DSL modem router, use a pin or paper clip to press
and hold the Reset button for at least 7 seconds. (The Reset
button is located inside a small hole on side panel above the On
Networks logo.)
