Cannot get DLink to connect with Internet

Do you have an Internet service provider (ISP), like AT&T or Verizon (if you live in the US) ? Usually, your ISP will give you a modem/router (cable or DSL) for free when you sign up with them for Internet service.

Contact your ISP. They need to configure your modem for their network in order for the modem to get Internet.

Your work laptop probably has proxy settings in the browser. If yes, please remove it adn try. That should help .

Wellll....since it seemed an impossible task, I tried the next best thing.
I bought a wireless adapter for the other pc and voila! they are on the internet, and I am returning the router.

Westell modem + Verizon DSL w/usb = No connection to router.

HI,
Your ISP is verizon DSL.
It is very easy to set up the router with DSL.
first check if you are ale to go online when connected only to the modem.
There are 2 types of connection for DSL.
For More information Click Here

to answer your first question, call verizon to fix the line. it is dropping. Second have verizon change a dsl and test it out.
as far as the tab on the CAT-5, the tab is to lock the cable in place, without it, it will work but you have no insurace as to the connection status. (need cable with tab).

Hi Susie
With related to your particular issue it seems like that your broadband modem is not configured for the router. There are basically 2 types of connection. DSL and Cable modem. Verizon, ATT are DSL and comcast other providers give you a normal cable broadband connection. If its comcast make sure the cable from the comcast modem is going to the internet port in the linksys router and also make sure that there is a system connection the linksys router and the cable from the system goes to any of LAN 1, 2, 3 and 4 ports. Then reset your cable modem by using a pin and inserting to the reset hole in the modem. You could use the same step to reset your linksys router as well .If its a verizon or dsl connection you need to put normally your username and password in the router page. here is the link to how to configure linksys for your internet modem.
Here is a video as well on it?

hi,

theres a possiblity that the modem is set to bridge mode,in that way,you will not be able to connect to the internet direclty to the modem,192.168.1.1 is usually the deault gatewayy address for almost all verizon modem and username is admin and password is admin as well,if admin didnt take for the password,try using password as the password


thanks and God Bless

Hi There Joecohn,

Definitely, the username and password for your PPPoE connection is correct since that it works perfectly with your Linksys router. If you are getting a WAN IP Address from the status or summary page of your D-link router then you can lower down the MTU size of your router to 1492. If it didn’t work, upgrade or reflash the firmware, reset it back to the factory default and reconfigure the router for PPPoE connection again.

If it will not obtain an IP address or even if it has a WAN IP but can’t go online then we can consider it as a hardware failure on the D-Link router. Have it replaced.

FIRST TRY: delite all previous wireless settings on your operating system.

try reseting settings, than configure with ethernal la, and delite all previous settings on your operating system.
