How can I setup my router to work with Earthlink DSL or any PPPoE

connection?

Make sure you disable or uninstall any PPPoE software such as WinPoet or Enternet

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

Step 1

Upgrade Firmware if needed.

(Please visit the D-Link tech support website at:

http://support.dlink.com

for the latest

firmware upgrade information.)

Step 2

Take a paperclip and perform a hard reset. With the unit on, use a paperclip

and hold down the reset button on the back of the unit for 10 seconds. Release it and

the router will recycle, the lights will blink, and then stabilize.

Step 3

After the router stabilizes, open your browser and enter 192.168.0.1 into the

address window and hit the

Frequently Asked Questions (continued)

Can I use my D-Link Broadband Router to share my Internet

connection provided by AOL DSL Plus?

In most cases yes. AOL DSL+ may use PPPoE for authentication bypassing the

client software. If this is the case, then our routers will work with this service. Please

contact AOL if you are not sure.

To set up your router:

Step 1

Log into the web-based configuration (192.168.0.1) and configure the WAN

side to use PPPoE.

Step 2

Enter your screen name followed by @aol.com for the user name. Enter your

AOL password in the password box.

Step 3

You will have to set the MTU to 1400. AOL DSL does not allow for anything

higher than 1400.

Step 4

Apply settings.

Step 5

Recycle the power to the modem for 1 minute and then recycle power to the

router. Allow 1 to 2 minutes to connect.

If you connect to the Internet with a different internet service provider and want to use

the AOL software, you can do that without configuring the router’s firewall settings.

You need to configure the AOL software to connect using TCP/IP.

Go to

http://www.aol.com

for more specific configuration information of their software.
