Page 13: Installation
• 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-245GE from a single device and verifying that it is connected to the Internet before connecting additional devices. -
Page 14: Wireless Installation Considerations
1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the D-Link router and other network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range from 3 to 90 feet (1 to 30 meters.) Position your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized. -
Page 15: Manual Setup
Manual Setup Note: Power off your network devices, including your existing connection box/modem and PC. Position your DSL-245GE near your PC and a telephone wall jack that provides DSL service. Keep the router in an open area for better wireless coverage. - Page 16 Section 2 - Installation Use the DSL-245GE as a router only. Plug one end of the supplied Ethernet cable into the WAN port on the back of the router and the other end to your existing cable/UFB/NBN™ connection box or modem. Then power on the connection box.
