This is a quick guide to help you get going on wireless Broadband. There's no jargon in here, so you'll be surfing the net in no time.

Thanks and have fun with wireless Broadband.

First things first

We know you're keen to get started, but before you start plugging everything in, take a minute to read through these instructions. Whether you're a new customer setting up Broadband for the first time, or an existing customer adding wireless to your set-up, this guide will help you get up and running in minutes.

Make sure you follow each step in the order listed, or you may have problems with your wireless service.

Note:

• Don't connect any PCs to your wireless router via wired (Ethernet) connection before or during set-up.
• If you're an existing customer, the new set-up disk supplied with your wireless package should be used. From now on, don't use any previously supplied installer disks.
• If you're adding a PC or laptop to an existing wireless home network, go straight to Step 8 and follow the instructions.
• Don't connect your wireless adapter to your PC until instructed by the Installation Wizard in Step 8.

Before you begin

Make sure you have all the items below:

• Wireless router.
• Ethernet cable (yellow).
• Power supply.
• Router stand.
