RJ-11 DSL cable 6. Line filters (2) * It is also possible to obtain wall-mount filter. To order this filter, please call NorthernTel Customer Service Department at Line filters installation Devices such as fax machines, caller ID boxes, or phones or phones that share the same phone line as your DSL account require a line filter. The line filter prevents noise from disrupting the DSL signal on the phone line. Filters can be in the form of a stand-alone line filter or a wall-mount filter. Stand-alone Line Filter For each device that shares the DSL phone line: 1. Unplug the device s cord from the phone jack. 2. Plug the filter into the phone jack. 3. Plug the phone cord (or other device cord) into the filter. 2 Hi-Speed Internet User Guide

This security mode is compatible with Windows XP or subsequent operation systems. If you do not plan on using the wireless network, then we recommend disabling the wireless adapter on the router. Enabling the wireless adapter without wireless security features turned on could potentially expose your systems to data theft, viruses, spyware and other unauthorized access. Configure the wireless network using this option. The wireless settings on the Gateway must match those of any wireless clients on your network. 10 Hi-Speed Internet User Guide

This way, if there is interference, your modem will choose another channel. 6. Click Next. 7. Select WPA-TKIP from the Security Mode drop-down menu, as recommend by NorthernTel. Wireless Setup WPA-TKIP Option To use the WPA-TKIP option: 1. From the Wireless Security Configuration window, select WPA-TKIP from the Security Mode drop-down menu. If you check Enable SSID Broadcast, the detection of your internet signal will be easier for non-authorized users, therefore it is recommended you not activate the broadcast. 2. Click Next. This displays the Wireless WPA Configuration window. 3. Create a secret password with no more than 30 characters. This password needs to be difficult to find for an external user, but easy to type for you. 4. Keep Group Key Renewal at 3600 seconds. 5. Click Next. This displays the Wireless Filter Configuration window. 12 Hi-Speed Internet User Guide

13 Wireless Filter and Options Configuration Control access to the Gateway of wireless devices based on the MAC address of the device using the Wireless Filter Configuration window. A MAC (Media Access Control) address refers to a hardware address that uniquely identifies each device of a network. Refer to the user documentation for each device you wish to deny or allow access for a particular MAC address. To configure the wireless filter: 1. Select one of the following Wireless Filter options: Enable Enable wireless filtering. Disable Disable wireless filtering. If wireless filtering is disabled, all devices have access to the Gateway. 2. If wireless filtering is enabled, select one of the following Filter Mode options: Allow Permits access to all the MAC addresses entered in the table. Deny Restricts Gateway access to all the MAC addresses entered in the table. 3. Type the MAC address in the MAC Address column next to each device you either want to permit or restrict access.

14 4. Click Next. This displays the Wireless Options Configuration window. 5. Optionally, configure the following items: Data Transfer Rate If a particular wireless client is unable to auto-negotiate a connection to the Gateway, the data transfer rate may be set to a specific data rate such as 11 Mbps for b wireless clients. RTS/CTS Threshold A group of wireless clients may experience difficulty communicating with the Gateway without interrupting each other s communications. If this occurs, the RTS/CTS threshold may be set to a higher number to allow them each a longer period in which to communicate with the Gateway before the priority is switched to another wireless client wishing to transmit data. Fragmentation Threshold The fragmentation threshold may be lowered to improve reliability in an excessively noisy wireless environment if changing channels does not provide significant enough improvement. If you wish to reset the options in the Wireless Options Configuration window, click Restore Default Values. The system responds by restoring all the advanced features on this page. 6. Click Next. This displays the Wireless Wizard finish window. 7. Click Finish to save the settings. 8. Click Reboot for your wireless configuration to take effect. 14 Hi-Speed Internet User Guide
