Setting Up Your Broadband Connection

• Most DSL services include a modem, router, filters, cables, and a user manual for self-installation.
• If you have a landline phone, attach the ADSL splitter to the phone jack, and connect your modem and phone to the splitter.
• After connecting the modem and router, link your computer to the Internet port on the router using an ethernet cable.

Begin with a broadband subscription. To dive into the world of online connectivity, your first step is securing a broadband subscription. Reach out to your local Internet service provider or telecommunications company to explore available options.

Review your broadband package. After subscribing, you'll receive a comprehensive broadband package, comprising:

• An Internet modem or router with a power adapter
• 1 Internet cable
• 1 telephone cable
• Phone filters
• 1 ADSL splitter
• These essentials pave the way for your broadband setup, detailed further in this guide.

Integrate the ADSL splitter into your phone setup. Initiate the installation process by disconnecting your telephone from the wall socket and connecting the ADSL splitter.

• Since broadband operates on digital signals and telephones on analog, splitters effectively segregate the signals, ensuring seamless functionality for both.

Filter out signals for additional telephone extensions. If you have multiple phone units in your household, employ a phone filter to interpose between your phone and the wall socket, akin to the ADSL filter installation.

• Functioning akin to the ADSL splitter, the phone filter sieves out digital signals, safeguarding your phone's functionality during usage.

Link your phone to one of the designated ports on the ADSL splitter labeled “Tel.” Utilize the telephone cable provided in the broadband package to connect to the DSL port on the splitter.

Attach the opposite end of the telephone cable to the rear of the modem/router provided. Identifying the correct port is simple, as there's only one port on the router/modem that fits the telephone cable (the smaller one).

Utilize the Internet cable from the broadband package to connect to one of the Internet ports located at the rear of the router/modem. Most routers feature four Internet ports, offering flexibility in cable placement.

Connect the remaining end of the Internet cable to the Internet port located at the rear of your desktop computer (adjacent to the speaker ports) or laptop (positioned along the sides or at the back). Identifying the appropriate port is straightforward, as there's only one port on your PC compatible with the Internet cable.

Power up the router or modem by connecting the power cable and plugging it into a power outlet. Press the Power button on the modem/router; observe blinking lights indicating the boot-up process.

• Once the lights stabilize, activate your computer, launch a web browser, and commence browsing the network.

• Many Internet service providers (ISPs) offer complimentary broadband installation by their technicians.
• Upon subscribing to broadband service, a router/modem package is often included, although you have the flexibility to opt for third-party routers and modems.
• Broadband services exhibit regional variability. Consult your local provider regarding available broadband offerings.
