Installation; Before You Begin - D-Link DIR-850L User Manual

Section 2 - Installation
This section will walk you through the installation process. Placement of the router is very important. Do not place the router
in an enclosed area such as a closet, cabinet, or in the attic or garage.
• Please configure the router with the computer that was last connected directly to your modem.
• Users with DSL providers - If you are using a PPPoE connection, you will need your PPPoE user name and password.
If you do not have this information, contact your Internet provider. Do not proceed until you have this information.
• Users with Cable providers - Make sure you unplug the power to your modem. In some cases, you may need to turn
it off for up to 5 minutes.
• Advanced Users - If your ISP provided you with a modem/router combo, you will need to set it to "bridge" mode so
the DIR-850L router can work properly. Please contact your ISP or refer to the user manual for your modem/router
device.
