You get an ethernet cable, its usually bright yellow or blue, and connect one end into the netopia where it says 1, 2, 3 or 4 (these are your 4 ports, you can hook up to 4 computers individually from here).
Put the DSL line into where it says DSL in the back and make sure you have a filter on the phone line, and any other phone or fax line in the house thats on that same number.
Make sure the power is plugged in and turn it on.
The lights blink for a few minutes until the router, the netopia, syncronizes.
You can access the router by opening internet explorer. It will say page cannot be displayed. Go up to the address bar where you type www stuff and type 192.168.1.254 and hit enter.
You get a little pop up window asking you for username and password. The username is admin. The password is the serial number off the bottom on the netopia.
Once you're in, click on configure at the top, then quickstart.
Put in your user id like
[email protected] and your password to your member ID.
click submit at the bottom, then the yellow triangle dealie at the top right. Then click on save and restart the database. When you get the pop up window again, it means you can sign in or just go to yahoo to see of you're online, you should be online.
