2. Connect a phone cable from the ADSL port on the Gateway’s back panel (see Figure 4-2) to the wall jack of
the ADSL line. A small device called a microfilter may be necessary between each phone and wall jack to
prevent interference. Contact your ISP if you have any questions.
3. Connect the power adapter to the Power port (see Figure 4-3), and then plug the power adapter into a power
outlet.
• The Power LED on the front panel will light up green as soon as the power adapter is connected properly.
The Power LED will flash for a few seconds, then light up steady when the self-test is complete. If the LED
flashes for one minute or longer, see “Appendix A: Troubleshooting.”
4. Power on one of the computers on your wireless network(s).
5. For initial access to the Gateway through a wireless connection, make sure the computer’s wireless adapter
has its SSID set to linksys (the Gateway’s default setting), and its WEP encryption is disabled. After you have
accessed the Gateway, you can change the Gateway and this computer’s adapter settings to match the your
usual network settings.
The Gateway’s hardware installation is now complete.
Go to “Chapter 5: Configuring the Gateway.”
NOTE: You should always change the SSID from its
default, linksys, and enable WEP encryption.
IMPORTANT: If using microfilters, make sure to only place the microfilters
between the phone and the wall jack and not between the Gateway and
the wall jack or your ADSL will not connect.
