Before you begin, locate the ADSL configuration information from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). If you need help doing so, the Connecting the Gateway to the Internet chapter in the Reference Manual on the Model DG824M Resource CD explains how.
Now, turn on your computer. If software usually logs you in to your Internet connection, do not run that software or cancel it if it starts automatically. The local lights are lit for any connected computers.
Note: For instructions on connecting computers to the DG824M via wireless links, please see the Reference Manual on the Model DG824M Resource CD.
Note: If you were unable to connect to the gateway, please refer to the Troubleshooting Chapter in the Reference Manual on the Model DG824M Resource CD which came with the gateway.

The unit also provides administrative control over internal network usage through URL content filtering, time-of-day usage limits, e-mailed reports of browsing activities, and optional real-time e-mail alerts. To ease the installation process, the DG824M features an animated Install Assistant to lead the user through each step of the installation process and a browser-based graphic user interface. Security features of the DG824M include: Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall to prevent Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, and an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) which includes logging, reporting and e-mail alerts, and Web URL content filtering.
