Before You Start

DSL Provider Users

In case you are using a PPPOE connection, then in that case you will need a username and password for PPPOE. If you are not available with these details, then you must get in touch with the internet service provider. Don’t move forward until you obtain this information.

Users that have Cable Providers

Please make sure that you disconnect the modem wire from the power source. There are certain cases where you will need to turn it off for at least 5 minutes.

Users With a Router/Modem Combo

In case the service provider gave you a combo of router or modem, then you need to select the bridge mode in order to ensure that the D-Link router works properly. Please get in touch with the service provider or you have a choice to read the router/modem’s user manual carefully.
