Before you Begin
Installation
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, or in the attic or garage.
• Please configure the router with the computer that was last connected directly to your modem.
•
Users with DSL providers
- If you are using a PPPoE connection, you will need your PPPoE user name and password.
If you do not have this information, contact your Internet provider. Do not proceed until you have this information.
•
Users with Cable providers
- Make sure you unplug the power to your modem. In some cases, you may need to turn
it off for up to 5 minutes.
•
Advanced Users
- If your ISP provided you with a modem/router combo, you will need to set it to “bridge” mode so
the DIR-860L router can work properly. Please contact your ISP or refer to the user manual for your modem/router
device.
