Chapter 2 Router Installation
You will need to first determine what type of modem or
internet source to which you are connecting this router (A, B,
or C below). Then follow the appropriate instructions as
explained in your connection type.
Your internet connection will fall into one of these categories:
Dynamic IP/DHCP (Most Common)
ADSL Virtual Dial-Up via PPPoE
Static IP
PPTP
L2TP
A. Dynamic IP (Most Common Type)
(Cable Modem Users and some DSL Modem Users.
Typical Cable Internet Service Providers: Comcast,
Time Warner, Optimum, Cablevision, Cox, Charter.)
Dynamic IP/DHCP connection is the most common
type used by most Cable Modems, Routers,
Residential Gateways, and Wireless Modems. If this
is your connection type, follow instructions in Section
“2.1 How to Install the Router – For All Users Except
DSL Modems” on Page 14. If you have a DSL
MWN-WAPR150N Wireless Router v11.8
13
modem and you have a Dynamic IP or you’re unsure
of your connection type, proceed to Section “2.2 How
To Install The Router – For DSL Modem Users” on
Page 28.
B. ADSL Virtual Dial-Up via PPPoE
(DSL Modem Users)
Some DSL modems have the PPP protocol
set to Bridge Mode (aka Transparent Bridging).
Speedstream, Actiontec and Westell modems are
some examples of modems that are usually set this
way.
You will need to know your DSL Username and
Password from your ISP for this type of setup.
Proceed to “Section 2.2 How To Install The Router –
For DSL Modem Users” on Page 28 for assistance.
If your modem is set to Bridged, you will not be able
to access the internet through the modem alone.
The Medialink router will be sending your ISP the
necessary username and password to establish the
connection once you have entered them just as your
computer does now or perhaps your previous router
that you may be replacing did before.

C. Static IP, PPTP and L2TP
Static IP, PPTP, and L2TP connections are premium
services. Follow instructions in Section 2.1
then , see Section 4.1 for assistance in
finishing the configuration of your connection.
2.1 How To Install The Router – For All
Users Except Users With a DSL Modem
(If you have a DSL Modem – do not
follow these instructions. See section
“2.2 How to Install the Router – For DSL
Modem Users” on Page 28.)
Please follow these instructions BEFORE using your new
Medialink router.
Important Notes:
The CD contains a Setup Wizard, which is an
alternative means to install/configure your router
but is not required. There are no drivers or files
needing to be installed on any computer or device in
order to operate this router.
It is highly recommended to install/configure the
router while it is wired into a computer (Figure 2.1 -
using the Ethernet cable included in your package,
plug one end into the computer’s Ethernet port and
MWN-WAPR150N Wireless Router v11.8
15
the other end into one of the YELLOW Ethernet
ports of the router). Once you have finished the
installation/configuration you may then unplug this
Ethernet cable from the computer and connect
wirelessly (if applicable).
1. Shut Down your computer.
2. If you have an existing Wireless Router, please
completely disconnect it from your computer and
modem.
3. Completely Power Down Your Cable Modem.
Unplug the modem’s power cord and remove the
battery (if applicable).
a. If you do not have access to the modem,
proceed to Step 4.
4. Connect your Network Cable(s)
a. Plug a network cable from your Cable
modem into your Medialink Router’s BLUE
WAN Port. (DO NOT connect the included
AC/DC Adapter to the router’s Power port at
this time.)
b. Using another network cable, plug one end
MWN-WAPR150N Wireless Router v11.8
16
to your computer’s network port. Plug the
other end into one of the Medialink Router’s
YELLOW ports numbered 1, 2, 3, or 4.
(It is not required to connect a computer to
the router at this point. But it is highly
recommended for faster setup of your
wireless network. Once setup is complete,
you may then unplug the computer and
connect wirelessly.)
(Figure 2.1)
5. Power On your Cable Modem.
a. Plug in the power cord for your modem.
Reinstall the batteries (if applicable).
b. Wait for the modem to fully restart (the
modem is fully restarted when the lights

Power port. Connect the other end into an
electrical outlet. Wait 10 seconds to allow
the router to fully start.
7. Check the status of your Medialink Router.

the POWER, SYS, WLAN, and INTERNET
(WAN) LED’s should be lit or blinking. If not,
make sure the cables are connected
correctly.

b. It is recommended that you temporarily turn
off any third party firewalls or networking
software during installation of your Medialink
Router.
9. Confirm Access To The Internet –
a. If your computer is wired into the router,
open your internet browser (For example,
Internet Explorer, Firefox or Safari) and
MWN-WAPR150N Wireless Router v11.8
18
confirm that you are able to access the
internet. If so, proceed to Step 10
Configuring Your Wireless Network.
b. If your computer is wireless (not wired to the
router), you will need to manually connect to
the wireless network that begins with
“Medialink”. (Open the available wireless
networks, click on the network name that
begins with “Medialink”, Then Click
Connect).
*Important Note: If your computer is
requesting a “PIN” – DO NOT ENTER THE PIN
(unless you are experienced with and intend
to enable WPS on all your wireless devices).
Instead, click the option “I don’t want to
configure this network I just want to
connect”.
Confirm access to the internet. If you are
able to connect to the internet, proceed to
Step 10 Configuring Your Wireless Network.
(for more details on how to connect to a
wireless network see Section 2.4 on page
52)
MWN-WAPR150N Wireless Router v11.8
19
If you cannot access the internet and you do
not have access to your Modem, see instructions
under “2.1b No Modem Access”
If you cannot access the internet and you have
a Residential Gateway, Router, or Wireless
Modem try changing the IP address of the Medialink
router (see Section 2.2 Page 28) or Configure the
Medialink router as a Wireless Access Point instead
(see Section “2.3 Router to Router Configuration” on
Page 48)
If you are sure that your device is a simple
cable modem with no routing function, your
Internet Service Provider may require that
your router clones the MAC address of your
computer (see instructions below)
Open an Internet Browser (you won’t have access to
the internet but you just need the browser). In the
address bar of your internet browser, type
http://192.168.0.1 then when prompted, enter the
Username: admin Password: admin. In the menu to
the left, Click “Advanced Settings” then Click “MAC
Address Clone”. Click “Clone MAC Address”, Click
“Apply”, then Click “OK” to start the reboot. After the
router reboots, confirm access to the internet.
If you still cannot access the internet and it is
MWN-WAPR150N Wireless Router v11.8
20
a simple cable modem with no routing or
wireless functionality, please carefully repeat
steps 1 thru 8 as it is important to correctly connect
the devices and Power On the devices in the precise
order as outlined in Steps 1 thru 8. When powering
up your devices, make sure each device has
completely restarted before powering up the next
device.
If you still cannot connect to the internet, please call
technical support at 856-216-8222 or download the
latest FAQ at www.medialinkproducts.com/support
10. Configuring Your Wireless Network – Once you
have completed the hardware installation, you may
want to change your SSID (Name of Wireless
Network) and Security type to a name and password
that you will remember (the router’s default SSID is
“medialink”) There are 2 ways to configure your
wireless network:
a. Option 1 (RECOMMENDED) – Proceed to
