Installation of the AT&T DSL Broadband Router

An example of a DSL modem.

DSL stands for digital subscriber line. DSL uses a modem to convert a phone line into high speed Internet. The modem can be just a modem, where only a single computer can connect without a separate router, or it can be a modem/router combo, which allows multiple users to connect. As a DSL service provider, AT&T offers a modem/router combo made by 2Wire. The modem/router also is a wireless router, so users can connect to the Internet wirelessly as well.

Things You'll Need

Instructions

1. Connect the phone line to the phone jack in the wall.

2. Connect the other end to the back of the AT&T DSL Broadband Router.

3. Connect the Ethernet cable from the computer to one of the four LAN ports on the back of the router. The AT&T DSL Broadband router is now installed.
