Before You Begin
• You can only use the Ethernet port on your modem. If you were using the
USB connection before using the router, then you must turn o 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).
• 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.
• When running the Setup Wizard from the D-Link CD, make sure the computer
you are running the CD from is connected to the Internet and online or the
wizard will not work. If you have disconnected any hardware, re-connect your
computer back to the modem and make sure you are online.

walls with insulation, water (sh tanks), mirrors, le cabinets, brick, and concrete will
degrade your wireless signal.
