Tips for PPPoE and USB connections:
If you have DSL and are connecting via PPPoE, make sure that 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.
You can only use the Ethernet port on your modem. If you were using USB to connect before, then
you must turn off your modem, disconnect the USB cable and connect an Ethernet cable to the
Internet port on the router, then turn the modem back on. In some cases, you may need to call
your ISP to change connection types (USB to Ethernet).
