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.
• You can only use the Ethernet connection on your modem to connect the router to your DSL or cable modem.
If you were using a USB connection from your modem to your computer before using the router, then you must
turn off your modem, disconnect the USB cable and connect an Ethernet cable from your modem to the Internet
port on the router, and then turn the modem back on. In some cases, you may need to call your ISP to change
the modem connection types (USB to Ethernet).
• If you have DSL and are connecting via PPPoE, make sure you disable or uninstall any PPPoE software such as
WinPoet, Broadjump, or Enternet 300 from your computer or you will not be able to connect to the Internet.
• If your modem(s) are connected to other routers, gateways, or computers, you must turn off the modem(s) for
at least 2 minutes to clear out the MAC address so the D-Link router can connect to the Internet.
