Hi Brice, well the four additional filters, what you referred to as jacks, are required for your telephones. With dsl you need a line directly from the wall jack to your modem. For all other phones you need a filter in-line. If you have any wall mounted phones you will require a filter designed

The additional jacks. In our case they were short cords with a phone plug on one end and the other has one or two femal jacks. One is marked telephone the other computer. Or if only one it is for a phone. Anyway make sure the phone is in the right jack. As someone elese mentioned they are

This clears up the phone jacks and filters. Now, after hooking these up, should the phone start working? Also, the build in phone and wireless is all one unit. I'm thinking I'm going to need some sighted help. They want an extra $119 for a tech to come out to hook it up, which I can't see

That is a combination router and modem. There is a place for a normal phone line to go in the back, should be on one end. The other ports are for Ethernet cables to plug in. They probably also included a wireless card which is supposed to be installed in a laptop, they assume you own one.

in brief, as was recently explained to me; the dsl comes in and is raw wide band. You go from the place where it enters the house to the box. The dsl goes through unfiltered and remains wide band to any and all computers except for dial ups that you may wish to use. The phones get the other side

you can take the tool they give and connect the laptop with ease, or you can go into the router and turn on encryption and right down the key it gives you. Then all you have to do is plug in the info when you click connect to the SSID that your router broadcasts. you will have to use a cable

I would suggest turning on wep or one of the other encrypted protocols. If you don't, someone can easily snoop your trafic. This will allow them to inpersonate one of your computers and get on your network even if you have only a specific set of MAC addresses allowed. WEP is not totally

I'd like to make the recommendation that wpa2 be used since wep is not as secure and in fact can slow a connection a bit. Just my experience and most folks in the IT security business will recommend wpa2 as well. Just my two cents worth. On Jun 15, 2009, at 10:46 AM, Terry Klarich wrote:

You can use a mail set if the panels were nailed on with finish nails, which have a small head with an indent on the top. A few raps with a hammer should set them below the wood surface. If it is nail with a flat head common nail a small flat ended punch can be used to countersink them. Ron
