adsl-package

The self installing router is simple to set-up. You do not need to use the CD supplied and if your PC/Laptop has a working (switched on) wireless network card, it will pick up the wireless (WiFi) connection once the router has been installed correctly.

Before beginning the installation, check that your ADSL broadband connection is active (if unsure, please check with Customer Service 1004). Make sure that you have everything you need: Ethernet phone line cable and the power supply (see picture). You may also need thebroadband user name and password that are supplied in a confirmation letter after your ADSL was activated:

NOTE: The password (clave) to access the WiFi service can be found on the label on your router.

Installing Microfilters:

Microfilters separate the broadband signal and telephone calls from each other. If you do not install microfilters, your internet connection will experience problems with connections and speed. Your telephone will also have a high pitched squeal, if microfilters are not used on every phone socket where a phone is connected.

To attach your filter, please carryout the following 3-steps:

  1. Remove your telephone from the master socket
  2. Plug the phone line into the filter, the telephone should be placed in the socket marked ‘TEL‘ or with an symbol depicting a telephone (see image):
  3. Plug the filter into the master socket, where the phone was removed from.

Voila! A successfully installed a microfilter. If you pick up your phone you should be able to hear a dial tone.

If you do not hear a dial tone, you have connected the filter incorrectly.
