6211-I1 ADSL2+ Router User’s Guide

17

This chapter provides basic instructions for connecting the router to a 
computer or a LAN and to the Internet using DSL. The first part provides 
instructions to set up the hardware, and the second part describes how to 
prepare your PC for use with the router. 

It is assumed that you have already subscribed to DSL service with your 
Internet service provider (ISP).

To connect your router:

1 Connect your ADSL line to the port labeled LINE on the rear panel of the 

device. 

2 For routers with a phone port (model numbers of the form 6211-I1-x0x), 

optionally connect your telephone to the port labeled PHONE.

3 Connect your PC or a LAN:

— Use the supplied Ethernet cable to connect your PC directly to the 

router. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the port labeled LAN 

on the router and connect the other end to the Ethernet port of your 

computer. 

— Alternatively, use the supplied USB cable to connect your PC directly 

to the router. Connect one end of the USB cable to the port labeled 

USB on the router and connect the other end to a free USB port on 

your PC. Install the USB drivers as described in the user’s guide on 

the CD.

— If your LAN has more than one computer, you can attach one end of 

an Ethernet cable to a hub or a switch and the other to the LAN port 

of the router. Either a crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable can 

be used.
