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.

(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).
