For dummies my modem is a smartax mt880 and i do not know how to connect it to my computer

Hi,

Connecting a SmartAX MT880 to your PC is straight forward.
1. Connect your ADSL line from the telephone line splitter to the rear of the modem marked ADSL;
2. use the provided straight-through Ethernet cable and connect one end to the Ethernet port of the mode, connect the other end to the LAN port of your PC;
3. connect the provided 9VAC adapter to the wall outlet and the plug to to the jack marked 9V AC 1A;
4. power up the modem by switching it on using the rear panel power switch;
5. on switching on the modem, the Power led indicator in the front panel should lit up;
6. the ADSL Link & Act leds should blink while negotiating with your provider. Upon connection, the Link led should have a steady light and the Act will blink when you are uploading or downloading;
7. on the LAN leds, the Link should have a steady light if connected to your PC. The Act led will blink if your PC is sending or receiving from the Internet through the modem.
8. Prerequisites are: an active 2-wire/telephone ADSL account, LAN card in your PC, appropriate Operating System, and all the accessories that came with the box of the modem.

Should you be in need of a copy of the manual, it is available here. Upon download, pls add ".pdf" to file name to be viewable in Abobe Acrobat reader.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Hello, Good question..Phone line to DSL modem, Ethernet cable to WAN port on Router. If connecting a PC wired to Router, connect Ethernet cable from 1 of 4 LAN ports on Back of router to ethernet port on PC. This would be Physical connection...
It's always smart to set a restore point in case something goes wrong during installation of any program. For wireless connection from laptop or PC: install router software on computer. Reboot computer. In browser address bar enter 192.168.1.1. This brings up a window for user name and password. Enter "admin" for both. This allows you to change many settings including Changing SSID(Router Name), User name and password. Enabling WEP or WPA security. Hope this Helps, Good Luck..!!
