I bought a DLink-524 wireless router, because I am getting another computer
and a laptop and I wanted to share the network. I am running AOL with
Broadband DSL which I have had for some time with no problems. Here is the
setups (Like I said I am new to routers) DSL modem > Router > Computer (As
the manual said).
There is an ip to connect to to configure the router. I can get there no
problem, and configure it (pppoe). But it doesn't connect. It seems that the
only way I can connect to the internet is directly from the modem to my
computer. Am I missing something here? All the cables and lines work, and I
am up-to-date with my Firmware. I read somewhere that AOL doesn't like MTU
above 1400, so it's set at 1400 (no Idea what it is).
Anyone have any idea of what I can do here? I would gladly provide any/all
further information about my computer to see how to do this.
(NOTE: My dsl modem is dual connect, so I was wondering...if I connect it
with the USB to my computer, and then the ethernet to the router, would it
work?)
(Another NOTE: This is only the server computer, I haven't even begun the
'wireless' aspect of it yet)
