Netgear DG834v1 – ADSL Modem Router Manual De Referência

Connecting the Router to the Internet

Each device such as a telephone, fax machine, answering machine, or caller ID display will require 
an ADSL microfilter.

Do not connect the DG834 to the ADSL line through a microfilter unless the microfilter is a 

combination microfilter/splitter specifically designed for this purpose. Doing so will prevent the 
built-in ADSL modem in the DG834 from establishing a connection to the Internet. If you have 
any doubts about this, connect the DG834 directly to the ADSL line.

Use an ADSL microfilter with built-in splitter when there is a single wall outlet which must 
provide connectivity for both the DG834 and telephone equipment.

The DG834 ADSL router connects to your Ethernet LAN via twisted-pair cables. If the computer 
will connect to your network at 100 Mbps, you must use a Category 5 (CAT5) cable such as the 
one provided with your router.

To use the DG834 ADSL router on your network, each computer must have an installed Ethernet 
adapter and an Ethernet cable, or a 802.11g wireless adapter. 

For the initial connection to the Internet and configuration of your router, you need to connect a 
computer to the router which is set to automatically get its TCP/IP configuration from the router 
via DHCP.

configuration.
