8a. Do I need to install the CD on every computer in my network?
You do not need the CD to install the router on any computer. The CD provides a user-friendly
setup wizard that helps you connect to the router and configure its wireless settings. However,
you can configure the wireless settings through the web-based interface as well (see Question
1a on Page 3
of this FAQ) Consequently, you do not need to use the CD for installation on any
other computer in the network. Once the router is configured, you may connect and disconnect
from the network with any device at any time.
9a. Step 2 of the Setup Wizard is asking for my “Connection Type”. How can I tell?
Step 2 of the Setup Wizard will ask what your Connection Type is. Most likely your connection
type is Dynamic IP as it is the most common type. The next most common type is DSL (or
ADSL Virtual Dial-Up via PPPoE), which sometimes requires additional configuration to your
modem prior to setting up your router (see Question 11a on page 6
of this FAQ) Connection
types such as Static IP, PPTP, and L2TP are special services that cost an extra fee through
your internet service provider so you will be aware if this should be your selection in Step 2 of
the Setup Wizard.
10a. I can’t connect to the internet when my computer is plugged into the router (or) An
IP Address does not appear on the screen during Step 5 of the EZ Connect Setup Wizard.
Start the process again from the beginning by powering down all devices then powering them
back up one at a time. Unplug the power from router, unplug the power from the modem, and
shutdown your computer. Carefully check the modem to see if there are batteries or a battery
panel. If there are batteries, be sure to remove them for 30 seconds. All lights should be
completely off on the modem. Once both devices are powered down, power up the modem first.
Wait for the modem to fully start up (all lights will be steady or blinking in a steady pattern for
atleast 10 seconds). This can sometimes take up to a couple minutes. Once the modem is fully
started up, plug in the power to the Medialink router. Next, turn on your computer. Then, try the
internet again on the computer that is plugged into the router.
If you still don’t have internet, try changing the IP Address of the Medialink router, because the
modem or router you are connecting it to may have the same IP address. For instructions on
changing the Medialink router’s IP address, see Question 24 of this FAQ.
If you still don’t have internet, make sure that you can access the internet when connected
directly your ISP’s modem. If you cannot, please contact your ISP.
