Here are the steps to take in order to install your router onto your PC or Apple Macintosh Computer
1. Fit a micro filter in between the wall socket and each device that shares the telephone line. This is not only telephones but can also include fax machines, burglar alarms, and any satellite equipment. Your modem pack will come with 2 filters but if you need more you can purchase these from any good computer store e.g dixons or PC World. We can also supply them for £4 each.
2. Plug the telephone cable into the DSL socket on the modem, and plug the other end into the micro filter socket marked DSL. * (You may find this is already plugged into the mdoem side. So you may only have to plug this into the DSL socket on the filter)
3. Plug the eternet cable from the back of the router seen here into the back of the PC
4. If you have your router plugged in you should see the one of the numbers between 1-4 light up if you connect more than one ethernet cable up more than one number will light up depending on which socket on the back of the router you plug the router into.

* Please note that the address 192.168.1.1 or username and password may not be the case on another brand of router or a secondhand /used router. If this is the case you will need to reset this by following the instructions in the manual which if you dont have you can download from the suppliers website.

You should then be prompted to change the password, we recommend you do this but make sure you note your new password down and keep it in a safe place.If you dont change the password it will prompted you every time you login to your router to change the password. This is shown in the picture below.
