Sharedband Router Setup Steps
1) Remove the Sharedband routers from their packaging and place them in a suitable
locaon
2) Use the included short Ethernet cable(s) to connect the routers’ yellow ’LAN’ ports in
either of these two conguraons:
a) The recommended setup is to connect the Sharedband routers together via an
un-managed switch
b) However you can connect the Sharedband routers together with an Ethernet cable (daisy
chained)
3) Use the included ADSL cable to connect each routers’ grey ‘ADSL’ port to an included ADSL
micro-lter
4) Use the included power adapters to connect each router’s ’Power’ socket to a mains
power outlet
5) Ensure that the ‘On/O’ buon is depressed on all routers
6) Use an Ethernet cable to connect a computer to an unused yellow ‘LAN’ port of any router

connect to node 1

12) In the ‘PPP Username’ eld and ‘PPP Password’ eld, input the corresponding ADSL logon
credenals provided by your ISP. You should have received these credenals directly from
your ISP when they processed your internet access subscripon. If you’re unable to locate
them, please request them from your ISP
13) Click the ‘Next’ buon
14) Click the ‘Conrm’ buon and then wait for 30 seconds to elapse
