Quick Install Guide
Start Here
Before You Begin
1. 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.
2. You can only use the Ethernet port on your modem. If you are using a USB connection, 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).
3. 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.
4. A minimum of two PowerLine AV devices are required to create a Powerline network.
5. Use Router Mode if you are replacing an existing router or want to share an Internet connection with
multiple Ethernet, wireless, and PowerLine clients; or use Access Point (AP) Mode if you want to connect
wireless clients (such as laptops, tablets, smartphones, and media players) to your wired network (via a
router or switch).
