Voyager 2110 Wireless Router - Mac Setup Guide

[#1]

If you've got an Apple Mac computer running OS X, you can use these instructions to help set up your Plusnet broadband service using the Voyager 2110 Wireless Broadband Router.

Before starting your broadband setup

• Make sure that your broadband service is enabled.
• Make sure you remove any previously installed broadband equipment from your Mac
• Your broadband username and password. We send you this in an email when your broadband service is activated. Note that your username is different from the one you chose for your account. See our Broadband Settings page for more information.

Fitting microfilters

Plug the microfilters into your broadband-enabled telephone socket. Microfilters stop any interference from other telephone equipment affecting your broadband service. For more information read our Guide To Fitting Microfilters.
Important: Take care extra when plugging your microfilters in. Microfilters plugged into the wrong places are a common cause of broadband faults. Your broadband hardware should always be plugged into a microfilter. If you have any equipment attached to extension sockets on the same line, they should also be plugged into a microfilter.

Hardware Setup

1. Connect your microfilter to your broadband enabled telephone line. You should also connect a microfilter to any extension on this line that is in use. This includes extensions used with fax machines, alarms or satellite equipment.
2. Connect the power supply to your router and plug the power supply into an available power socket.
3. Connect your Mac to the Voyager 2110 Router using the yellow Ethernet cable. One end attaches to the Mac's Ethernet port, the other to the Voyager 2110's Ethernet port.
4. Turn on your modem.
