Section 2: Installation
We recommend following the step-by-step easy install process on the included RSG2500
CD-ROM. The Installation Wizard automatically starts when you insert the CD-ROM in your
Windows PC’s CD drive and leads you through setting up your RSG2500.
If you cannot or prefer not to use the Installation Assistant, this section will help you:
x Physically connect your RSG2500
x Establish a first connection between a computer and the RSG2500
Once this first connection is made, you can configure the RSG2500 to support all of the
wired or wireless connections you need. If you prefer to set up the RSG2500 software
manually, refer to the Manual Software Setup found later in this section.
Positioning Your RSG2500 for Optimal Wireless Performance
To achieve the best wireless performance, review these guidelines before deciding where
to place your RSG2500:
x Connect at least one computer through a wired Ethernet connection.
x Placing your RSG2500 in the physical center of your network is best, because its
antenna sends out signal in all directions.
x Placing the RSG2500 in a higher location, such as on top of a cabinet, helps disperse
the signal cleanly, especially to upper floors.
x If possible, position your RSG2500 so there is direct line of sight between it and other
home network devices using a wireless connection.
x Avoid placing the RSG2500 next to large, solid objects like computer cases, monitors,
walls, fireplaces, etc. This helps the signal penetrate more cleanly.
x Other wireless devices such as televisions, radios, microwaves, or 2.4 GHz cordless
telephones can interfere with the signal. Keep these devices away from the RSG2500.
x Mirrors, especially those that are silver-coated, can reduce transmission performance.
Section 2 Installation

Wireless Range and Transmission Speed
The following table lists the expected wireless range. It is only a guide. Your actual
throughput and distance may vary. The radio waves radiate out in a donut-shaped pattern.
The waves travel through walls and floors, but transmission power and distance are affected.
Data Rate Open Area Closed Area
54 Mbps Up to 100 ft (30 m) Up to 60 ft (18 m)
11 Mbps Up to 900 ft (275 m) Up to 160 ft (49 m)
5.5 Mbps Up to 1300 ft (396 m) Up to 200 ft (61 m)
1 or 2 Mbps Up to 1500 ft (457 m) Up to 300 ft (91 m)
Electrical Connection
The RSG2500 has no On/Off switch. It is powered on by plugging in its power adapter.
1Connect the power adapter to the Power port on the back of the RSG2500.
2Plug the power adapter into an unswitched, grounded, and surge-protected AC power
outlet. The Power LED on the front panel lights green when connected properly.
Establishing Your Connection to the RSG2500
You can now establish your first wired network connection:
We recommend following the step-by-step easy install process on the included
RSG2500 CD-ROM. The Installation Wizard automatically runs when you insert the
RSG2500 CD-ROM in your computer CD-ROM drive. It confirms that the antenna and
electrical connections have been made, and then leads you step-by-step through
setting up your RSG2500.
If you do not wish to use the Installation Wizard, you can manually configure this first
wired connection.
Installation Section 2
RSG2500 2-3
Manual Install—Wired Connection
The computer must have an Ethernet adapter installed. You need two Ethernet cables —
one to connect the RSG2500 to the modem and one to connect the computer to the
RSG2500.
Wired connection
1If you are currently running broadband to a single computer, unplug the Ethernet cable
connecting your modem to your PC and plug it into the WAN port on the RSG2500. If
you are not running broadband to a single computer, connect an Ethernet cable to the
WAN port on the RSG2500.
2Connect the other end of the same Ethernet cable to your cable or DSL modem.
You may need to restart your modem after making this connection.
3Connect a second Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the back of your PC.
4Connect the other end of this cable to one of the LAN ports on your RSG2500.
5To connect more devices, repeat steps 3 and 4.
Section 2 Installation
2-4 RSG2500
Establishing a Wireless Connection
To connect to the RSG2500 wirelessly, a computer must have an 802.11b or 802.11g
wireless adapter installed. If all wireless security and encryption are disabled on the adapter
and the RSG2500, the computer will automatically connect to the RSG2500.
Motorola ships the RSG2500 with all wireless security measures disabled. For information
about security defaults on your wireless adapter, refer to its documentation.
CAUTION!
Connect at least one computer to an RSG2500 Ethernet port to perform configuration.
Do not attempt to configure the RSG2500 over a wireless connection.
The default RSG2500 settings provide no wireless security. After your wireless LAN is
operational, be sure to enable security.

If selected, dial-on-demand is enabled for PPPoE. If the PPP
session is in an idle timeout state, PPP dials automatically to
establish a new connection when you access the Internet again.
The default is enabled.
Default DMZ
Server
If selected, you can specify a computer on your LAN as the DMZ
(de-militarized zone). Type the computer IP address in the fields, in
dotted-decimal format.
Specifying a computer as the DMZ allows external Internet traffic to
reach the specified computer without inspection from the RSG2500
firewall. Certain applications, such as some online games, may
work better on a DMZ computer where there is no intervention from
the firewall. Use this option with extreme care because the DMZ
computer has no protection from Internet attacks.

MTU Size Sets the maximum transmit unit size, in bytes. The default is 1500
bytes.
QoS Setup
Traffic Shaping
for Service
Prioritization
Select to enable traffic shaping for service (such as voice)
prioritization for uplink traffic. Use only when your CPE device
(ADSL, cable modem) does not support QoS packet prioritization
and you have voice/video traffic to transmit uplink. Enabling this
function can reduce the possibility of service packet loss.
Expected Uplink
Rate
The traffic shaping limits the transmit uplink speed based on this
parameter. The service packets will have a higher priority to
transmit than data packets. Input a customized one if the
predefined options are not matched. Predefined rates are:
128Kbps
256Kbps
512Kbps
1Mbps
Bandwidth
Probing Server
For systems that support bandwidth probing only, it is a dynamic
method to identify the available upstream bandwidth to optimize
how the RSG2500 performs QoS. To use bandwidth probing, type
the bandwidth probing server IP address provided by your service
provider.

Section 4: Troubleshooting
This section suggests solutions to home networking issues you may encounter. If you
cannot find a solution here, please contact your service provider.
My computer cannot connect to the wireless network.
x Be sure your RSG2500 is connected to the AC adapter and the AC adapter is plugged in
to an AC power outlet. If they are, the Power light on the RSG2500 front panel is on.
x Be sure the computer is in range of the RSG2500 and not behind an obstruction. Thick
walls, metal structures, 2.4 GHz cordless phones, or microwave ovens all can interfere
with the signal.
x Be sure the computer’s wireless adapter is correctly installed with its radio signal
enabled and its antenna properly connected. Refer to the adapter’s documentation.
x Verify that the WEP or WPA settings for the computer wireless adapter match those on
the RSG2500. Refer to the adapter’s documentation.
x If you want to use WPA for more robust security, verify that the wireless adapter
supports WPA. If it does not, replace the adapter or choose a different security method.
x For a non-Motorola wireless adapter, verify that you are not using a WEP passphrase.
You cannot use a WEP Passphrase if you have any computers equipped with a non-
Motorola wireless adapter.
x If you selected Allow Only Listed Station Access on the Wireless > ADVANCED
window, be sure the computer’s MAC address is one of the Listed Stations.
Section 4 Troubleshooting

My computer cannot communicate with the RSG2500 through a wired connection.
x Be sure the cabling from the wall to your modem, from the modem to your RSG2500,

x Be sure no lights on the RSG2500 front panel are red or off. For more information, see
Section 1 “Overview.”
x Be sure you are using Ethernet cables rather than phone cables to connect the modem,
RSG2500, and computer. An RJ-45 Ethernet plug is shown at left. A RJ-11 plug for a
telephone is shown at right:
Be sure your Ethernet adapter is enabled. To check the status of a PC adapter,
click the monitor icon in the System Tray at the bottom right of your screen or
select Control Panel > Network and Dial-Up Connections:
My broadband modem contains a built-in router.
Because the two routers will cancel each other out, turn off the NAT function in the modem
