One is supplied with your Gateway (yellow cable).

3.

Connect the DSL or Cable modem to the gray WAN port on the Wireless Gateway.

Use the cable supplied with your DSL/Cable modem. If the cable is missing, a standard

Cat5 Ethernet cable can be used.

4.

Connect the supplied power adapter to the Wireless Gateway.

Use only the power adapter provided. Using a different one may cause hardware damage. Turn the power ON with the ON/OFF Power Switch.

5.

Check the LEDs:

• The Power LED should be ON.

• The LAN LED(s) that have a cable connected should be ON when the connected device

is also on.

• The Wireless LED should be ON only when a wireless client is connected to this

Gateway.

• (

2108-N9 HPNA model only

) The HPNA LED should be ON only when an HPNA

device(s) is connected via coaxial cable.

• The WAN LED should be ON when the WAN Port is connected via Cat5 cabling.

• The Internet LED may initially be OFF. After proper configuration, it should come ON
