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 9. If you have a DSL modem

MWN-WAPR150N Wireless Router v3.0

8

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 Only” on

Page 23 .

B. ADSL Virtual Dial-Up via PPPoE

(DSL Modem Users)

Some DSL modems must have the PPP protocol

set to Bridge Mode (aka Transparent Bridging).

Speedstream, Actiontec and Westell modems are

some examples of modems that usually require this.

Your ISP can assist you with this or proceed to

“Section 2.2 How To Install The Router – For DSL

Modem Users Only” on Page 23. Once the 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.

C. Static IP, PPTP and L2TP

Static IP, PPTP, and L2TP connections are premium

services. Follow instructions in Section 2.1, Page 9

then , see Section 4.1, Page 59 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 Only” on Page 23 .)

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

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).
