5.0 Setup DSL Extreme FAQ5.0 Setup
·Do I need to install filters on my line for the DSL to work properly?
·How do I setup a Dynamic IP plan on DSL Extreme?
·How do I setup a Static IP plan on DSL Extreme?

If you have a dedicated line running to the MPOE for your DSL connection, then you don't need filters.
But if you plug into a regular phone jack in your home, which shares the line with other devices, you will need to install the DSL filters on every phone jack in the house.
