The LED stays on when the link has been set up and is functioning correctly.
• WLAN LED - When this green LED is on, wireless networking is enabled. The LED will
flash when data is sent or received over a wireless connection.
• LAN LEDs (LAN1, LAN2, LAN3 and LAN4) - These green LEDs turn on when there
is an Ethernet connection to the corresponding LAN port on the back panel (see 10
below) and will flash to indicate that data is being sent or received over the connection.
• Line LED - Shows the PSTN line (FXO port) connection status. When the green LED
is solid, the Phone is OFF-Hook talking on a PSTN call. When the green LED is blinking,
it indicates there is an incoming PSTN call. When the LED is off, there is no activity

1. ADSL Port - Use the supplied cable to connect the ADSL port to your ADSL line.
The ADSL LED on the front panel will light up when there is a connection. If you are
using a splitter/filter connect to the port labelled ADSL
2. LAN Ports (1, 2, 3 and 4) - There are four Ethernet LAN ports for connection to PCs,
network printers or similar devices. Note the labelling; one LAN LED on the front panel is
associated with one port on the rear panel. Port 1 is associated with the LAN1 LED, port 2
with LAN2 and so on. If a device is not correctly connected, using a suitable Ethernet
cable, the associated LED will not turn on.
3. Power - Connect the supplied, 12V power adapter to this socket.
4. Reset - You can restart the unit by pressing the reset button and releasing it
immediately. If, for any reason, you need to reset the unit to factory defaults and
cannot access the user interface (e.g. if you have changed and forgotten the
password), press the reset button for 10 seconds. Note that you will lose all your
configuration changes when you reset the router to factory defaults.
5. USB 1.1 Port - Use this port for connecting USB printers.
6. RJ-11 FXS Phone Port - Use these ports to connect to a telephone.
7. RJ-11 FXO Line Port Use this port to connect to your telephone line. If you are using a
splitter/filter connect to the port labelled phone.
Ethernet cables
Ethernet cables are usually constructed from unscreened, “Cat 5” cable with
RJ45 connecters at both ends. Cables of this type can be purchased at most
computer retailers.
Installation Troubleshooting
• Check that the Power Adapter is both plugged into a working power socket and connected
to the Router. Check the green PWR LED on the Router is turned on. Only use the power
adapter that was supplied with your Router.
• The wired PC should connect to a LAN port of the Router using an Ethernet cable. The
corresponding LAN LED of the Router should be on.
• The Router ADSL port should be connected to your ADSL line. The ADSL LED should be on
when there is a valid connection (synchronization) with your ADSL line.
• Power up your equipment in the following order: First the ADSL Router and then your PC.
Leave at least 30 seconds between turning on each device.
• The PC should be setup to obtain an IP address automatically from the Router's DHCP
server. See the user manual on the CD for details of how to setup your PC to obtain
an IP address.
• Check that web proxy is disabled on your PC. Go to the Control Panel and select Internet
Options. Select the Connections tab and click the LAN Settings button. Check that the
Use Proxy Server option is not ticked.
• Check you can access the Router's web interface. Open a browser and enter
http://192.168.2.1 to access the default IP address of the Router.
WAN Connection Troubleshooting
• Check that you have selected the correct WAN connection option and the ISP details
are correct. If you do not have these details, they can be obtained from your ISP.
• If you have any PPPoE client applications already installed on your PC which were
required when your PC was directly connected to the DSL modem, they must be
disabled.
Wireless Troubleshooting
• Check that the SSID is the same on the Router and the wireless PC.
• Check that the wireless encryption is the same on the Router and the wireless PC. To
help debug a problem, turn off encryption in both the Router and wireless PC until you
can establish a connection. After a change in encryption, some PCs may have to be
restarted.
• The wireless PCs must be set to Infrastructure mode to work with a Router.
• If your computer has both a wired and wireless connection installed, ensure that the
wired Ethernet cable is unplugged.
• Check that the Router WLAN LED is on, to indicate that Wireless networking is
enabled. To enable wireless networking, go to the Router Wireless page and enable
Wireless Networking.
• If there are a number of wireless networks within range, then you may experience poor
wireless performance if the wireless channels are too close together. Ideally,
neighbouring wireless networks should be at least 5 channels apart. The wireless channel is
controlled by and set in the Router.
• The Router has a feature called MAC Filter which controls which wireless PCs have
access to the wireless LAN. If this feature is enabled, then ensure that the MAC address of
your wireless PC card is listed in the MAC Filter page.
