I've gone through the different stages of connecting my new router, first to my basic computer, then to my new laptop.
Internet connection works fine until I disconnect computer cable from modem and connects it the router.
But the router seems correctly installed, its green symbol showing and signals indicated as strong.
USB unit installed
Should I use PPPOE or PPTP?

Most ISP may tell you that they do not support the Router! Log into the router and makes sure it clone the MAC address of your Laptop, and secure your Router by changing the password!

Have a great 2008!

This detail will be provided by your ISP.
DSL usually requires PPOE.
If you need morer info, supply the name of your ISP, the service provided and the Make/Model of the router.

Hi FRND,

USB is hot plug & play device you doesn't need to restart or unplug!!
Install the driver CD provided by the router…Connect the router to computer…
It will automatically install the router and generate the Port for the internet connection… After this just login in to the router and change the setting by which the ISP gives you (IP Address) restart the router for setting applied after this connect the Internet and enjoy….. J

You don't need PPPOE for router because its used for encapsulating PPP frames in a dial up connection, and thats where the modem is used.
you will only use PPTP if your ISP is using the PPTP server...
so my advice is that you contact your Internet Service Provider for confirmation.

This is a basic fix. Only usb is plug and play. If you unplug the eathernet cable it will require a reboot of the router and possably your computer. To reboot the router just unplug the power cord from the unit for 30 sec or so.
