Before you Start

• Users with DSL providers – If you are using a PPPoE connection, you will need your PPPoE username and password. If you do not have this information, contact your Internet provider. Do not proceed until you have this information.
• Users with Cable providers – Make sure you unplug the power to your modem. In some cases, you may need to turn it off for up to five minutes.
• Advanced Users – If your ISP provided you with a modem/router combo, you will need to set it to “bridge” mode so the DIR-817LW/818LW router can work properly. Please contact your ISP or refer to the user manual for your modem/router device.

Connect your Router

1. Unplug the power to your DSL or Cable modem.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable from the Internet port of the router to the Ethernet port on your DSL or Cable modem.
3. Connect another Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port on your computer to one of the LAN ports on the router.
4. Plug the power back into your DSL or cable modem. Please wait about one minute before continuing.
5. Plug the power adapter into your router and connect to an available power outlet or surge protector. If the Power LED does not light up, press the Power button on the back of the router.
6. After the router has powered up, verify that the Power (green) and Internet (orange or green) LEDs are both lit then continue with the Configuration section on the other side.
