Hardware Installation

Before You Begin

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, attic or garage.

• The router is designed for use with the Ethernet port on your broadband modem. If you were using the USB connection before using

the router, you must turn o your modem and disconnect the USB cable. Connect an Ethernet cable to the WAN/Internet port on

the router, and then turn the modem back on. In some cases, you may need to call your ISP to change your connection type (USB to

Ethernet).

• If you have DSL and are connecting via PPPoE, be sure to disable or uninstall any PPPoE software such as WinPoet, Broadjump, or

Enternet 300 from your computer. Otherwise you will not be able to connect to the Internet.

• When running the Setup Wizard from the D-Link CD, make sure your computer is connected to the Internet and is online, otherwise

the wizard will not work. If you have disconnected any hardware, rst re-connect your computer to the modem and make sure you are

online.
