Connection of your modem will vary depending on whether you have a Standard or Naked ADSL service.
- Connect a phone cable from the Line or Wall Socket port on the ADSL splitter to the telephone socket on your wall.
- Connect a phone cable from the ADSL Modem port on the splitter to the DSL port on the back of the Billion router.
NOTE: Make sure that your cable is less than 3 metres long. Long cables can affect the performance of your service. - Connect your telephone to the Local Phone port on the ADSL splitter.
- Connect one end of the supplied Ethernet cable to the network card on your computer. Connect the other end to one of the Ethernet or LAN ports on the back of the router.
