How can I setup my router to work with Earthlink DSL or any PPPoEconnection? (continued)Frequently Asked Questions (continued)
Can I use my D-Link Broadband Router to share my Internetconnection provided by AOL DSL Plus?In most cases yes. AOL DSL Plus may use PPPoE for authentication bypassing the
client software. If this is the case, then our routers will work with this service. Please
contact AOL if you are not sure.
To set up your router:
Step 1Log into the web based configuration by typing in the IP Address of the router
(default:192.168.0.1) in your web browser. The username is admin (all lowercase) and
the password is blank (empty).
Step 2 Enter your screen name followed by @aol.com for the user name. Enter your
AOL password in the password box.
Step 3 You will have to set the MTU to 1400. AOL DSL Plus does not allow for
anything higher than 1400.
Step 4 Click Apply.
Step 5 Recycle the power to the modem for 1 minute and then recycle power to the
router. Allow 1 to 2 minutes to connect.
If you connect to the Internet with a different ISP and want to use the AOL software,
you can do that without configuring the router’s firewall settings. You need to
configure the AOL software to connect using TCP/IP.
