Have your modem powered on and connected directly to your PC via Ethernet Cable before you begin, as these
instructions are based on wired Ethernet connection
1. Connect the Power port on the back of your modem to your power socket.
2. Connect the DSL port on the back of the modem to your telephone wall socket.
3. Connect your telephone handset to the Phone1 port on the back of your modem.
4. Connect your PC to any of the 4 LAN ports on the back of your modem.
2. NETWORK CONFIGURATION
PPPoE connection does not require you to have an IP address or DNS settings manually encoded on your network card.
PPPoE connection uses authentication to establish the Internet connection and once connected your modem will be
assigned an IP and DNS settings from TPG.
To begin, your PC needs to receive a private IP address from the modem. Most modems have DHCP enabled by default
that will take care of this.
