Orginal wireless internet DSL installation

[jktexas]

Do I have to have a wired computer (via ethernet cable) to install my DSL equipment? If so,then why? Is there a way around this? And do I have to always leave a wired computer connected to recieve service?

To better help you:

#1 What is the brand and model of your modem?

#2 What is the brand and model of your router?

I do not have a modem and a router, but I have a gateway type of equipment.

Actiontec GT704WGB gateway

This is my device, how does that help?

Ok, that helps to know.

Now I can answer your question(s)

No, you do not.

As how to get connected by wireless, see the info at

https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://www.actiontec.com/support_cms/doc_files/GT704WGB_Wireless_...

OR if you do not like Google Docs, use

As how to get connected to the net, go to

https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://www.actiontec.com/support_cms/doc_files/GT704-WG-B_Vz_User...

OR if you do not like Google Docs, use

http://www.actiontec.com/support_cms/doc_files/GT704-WG-B_Vz_User_Manual_30.15.0.pdf

Read from page 1 to page 19 (if using Google Docs to page 20).

If you want to customise the setup to get online, then read from page 1 to page 12, read from page 43 to page 48, then read from page 51 to 53.

You do not need a computer connected via Ethernet to keep the DSL service going. The modem or router you get from Verizon will take care of that all. While it's been a while since I've seen the Verizon installation CD, if you know what you're doing you can set up the service via Wireless without even having to use the Verizon CD, either by going through the modem configuration pages (and disable the walled garden), or by simply connecting to the wireless and then opening your web browser which should take you to activatemydsl.verizon.com .
