Step 3:

Set up your Vonage Device

(with existing DSL or Cable modem and

router or modem with Built-In router)

1. Shut down your computer and unplug your existing

modem and router power cords.

2. Locate an unused Ethernet port on your existing router.

3. Connect one end of the blue cable to the Ethernet port

on your router. Connect the other end to the blue port

labeled “Internet” on the back of the Vonage Device.

NOTE: The ports on the back of your existing router may be labeled

“Ethernet” or “LAN” and may be numbered 1-4. You can plug the

Blue Cable into any of these ports.

If all the Ethernet ports on your existing

router are in use, disconnect one of the cables

in the Ethernet or LAN ports from your existing

router. Connect that cable to the yellow port

labeled “Ethernet 1” on the Vonage Device.

Then connect one end of the blue cable to the blue

port labeled “Internet” on the back of the Vonage

Device. Connect the other end of the blue cable to

the port you just made available on your router.

NOTE: If you don’t have any available ports on your router

and you have a home network set up (where you share files

on computers or share a printer), then you should install the

Vonage device in front of your existing router. Please see

www.vonage.com/homenetwork for instructions.

In Canada visit www.vonage.ca/homenetwork.

Step 3: Set up your new Vonage Device

4. Now plug your modem’s power cord back into an

electrical power outlet.

NOTE: You should allow enough time for your modem to complete

its start-up process. If you’re unsure about how long this takes,

consult the manual that came with your modem. Typical modem

start-up takes 60 seconds.
