How to connect Linksys WRT150N to laptop on DSL

Hi.

If you have a cable modem or DSL modem, try to unplug power on it and your router too. Then plug the power back to the modem and wait until you see almost all the lights on. If your unsure just wait about 1 min and it should be ok. Next plug power back to your router. This will create an new IP address which could resolve your problem.

Connect the dsl modem to port on the router that says Internet
connect 1 pc to any available port on the router(1,2,3,4).
Open your browser and type 192.168.1.1 in the address bar
It will prompt for a username/password window. leave username blank,password admin. Press enter
Normally if you have dsl, you need to set the internet connection type to pppoe and put in your username and password that your ISP provided you. then save the settings.

follow the installation guide/manual.
Download one if you dont have it, you may even find youtube videos to show you

You need to change the router's IP to avoid conflict with the modem's IP address. You just need to access the router's setup page , default is 192.168.1.1. Default username should be left blank and default password is admin. Once logged in , first page you will see is the Basic Setup page. Just look on themiddle part of this page and there you will see the IP address of the router. Most of the time, if the user has DSL connection , Linksys' IP should be changed to 192.168.2.1. Dont forget to click on Save Settings at the bottom of the page. It will then say Settings are successful. Now click on continue. You can then power off then power back on the router for the changes to apply

Try connecting your laptop directly to the dsl modem to make sure that it is working correctly.
If the dsl modem is working correctly then:
1. Turn off the power on the router and dsl modem.
2. After about 2 minutes, turn on the dsl modem.
3. Wait another 2 minutes, then turn on the router.

Occasionally you need to do this to get them back in synch. If this doesn't work you may need to use the software utility to reconfigure the router.

connect it by the LAN cable and then it should come with a default IP address found on the box or the bottom of the the wifi router enter that in your address bar and you will need to type a username and password that is also found on the box of the wifi router then you can then configure it from there. good luck
