Getting Started
The DGL-4500 includes a Quick Router Setup Wizard CD. Insert the CD to run the Setup Wizard
to guide you quickly through the installation process. If you would like to manually connect and
configure your router, follow the steps below.
• Please configure the router with the computer that was last connected directly to your modem.
• If you were using the USB connection before using the router, then you must turn off your modem,
disconnect the USB cable and connect an Ethernet cable 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 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.
