Section 2 - Installation
Before you Begin
Installation
This section will walk you through the installation process. Placement of the router is very important. Do not place the router in an enclosed area
such as a closet, cabinet, attic, or garage.
Note: This installation section is written for users who are setting up their home Internet service with the DSL-G2452DG Wireless AC1200 Dual-Band
Gigabit ADSL2+/VDSL2 Modem Router for the first time. If you are replacing an existing DSL modem and/or router, you may need to modify these
steps.
• Make sure to have your DSL service information provided by your Internet Service Provider handy. This information is likely to include
your DSL account's Username and Password. Your ISP may also supply you with additional WAN configuration settings which are
necessary to establish a connection. This information may include the connection type (DHCP IP, Static IP, PPPoE, or PPPoA) and/or
ATM PVC details.
• If you are connecting a considerable amount of networking equipment, it may be a good idea to take the time to label each cable or
take a picture of your existing setup before making any changes.
• We suggest setting up your DSL-G2452DG from a single device and verifying that it is connected to the Internet before connecting
additional devices.
• If you have DSL and are connecting via PPPoE, make sure you disable or uninstall any PPPoE connection software such as WinPoET,
BroadJump, or EnterNet 300 from your computer as the DSL-G2452DG will be providing this functionality.
