If your computer obtains its information from the router by DHCP, reboot the computer and verify the gateway address.

You might be running login software that is no longer needed.

If your ISP provided a program to log you in to the Internet (such as WinPoET), you no longer need to run that software after installing your router. If you use Internet Explorer as your browser, you might need to select Tools > Internet Options, click the Connections tab, and select the Never dial a connection check box. Other browsers have similar options.

Troubleshoot a PPPoE Internet Connection

To troubleshoot a PPPoE Internet connection:

1.Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the network.

2.In the address field of the web browser, enter www.routerlogin.net or www.routerlogin.com.

A login screen displays.

3.Enter the router user name and password.

The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are case-sensitive.

The BASIC Home screen displays.

4.Click the ADVANCED tab.

The Router Status screen displays.

5.On the Internet Port pane, click the Connection Status button.

For more information, see Check the Internet Connection Status on page 78. If the fields show valid information, including valid IP addresses, your PPPoE connection is up and working.

If any of the fields show incomplete information or no valid IP address, you can attempt to reconnect by clicking the Connect button. The router continues to attempt to connect indefinitely.

If you cannot connect after several minutes, you might be using an incorrect service name, user name, or password. There might also be a provisioning problem with your ISP.

Note: Unless you connect manually, the router does not authenticate using PPPoE until data is transmitted to the network.
