Quick Installation Guide

Connecting the Hardware

If you do not need the phone service, you can skip Step 1 and directly connect the modem router to the phone jack using a phone cable. Then, proceed with Steps 3 and 4 to complete the hardware connection.

Step 1: Connect the ADSL splitter to the phone jack.

Step 2: Connect the modem router to the ADSL splitter using a phone cable. An optional connection to the phone is also shown.

Step 3: Connect the power adapter to the modem router and turn it on.

Step 4: Verify that the hardware connection is correct by checking the following LED indicators on the modem router:

• Power LED: Should be solid ON.
• ADSL LED: Should be solid ON. (Note: This LED may take 1 to 2 minutes to stabilize after powering on.)
• Wireless LED: Should be solid ON or flashing. (Note: If the Wireless LED is off, press the WiFi button on the rear panel for 2 seconds to activate it.)
