I think you will find the DSS-8+ is a switch, what you need to share a single DSL connection is a router. Its an easy mastake to make, hell ive made it. also you need to go HERE for advice on your product, as thay are recalling some units due to power problems. if that is the case and yours is one of the recalls refund it and get a 4 potr router.
