11a. I have a DSL connection and I cannot access the internet.
There are 3 different variations for connecting a router to a DSL modem, please see the
updated Quick Installation Guide for DSL Users
or Section 2.2, Page 23 of the User Guide for
more detailed installation instructions, posted online at www.medialinkproducts.com/support
The three types of connections are Dynamic (you may have to change the IP address of the
Medialink router for this to work), PPPoE (you generally have to reconfigure the modem to
“Bridged” mode for this to work), or Static (you have to assign the IP information manually to the
router for it to connect to the DSL modem.) If the QIG for DSL users or the User Guide does not
help you get connected, please contact technical support at 856-216-8222 or via email at
[e-mail].
12a. What is my “Device Pin”?
The “Pin” for your device is located on a label under your router. This number will be labeled
“WPS pin”. When connecting your wireless devices to your wireless network, some devices will
require that you enter the Pin to confirm that the owner of the router is trying to connect to it. It is
not recommended to enter this Pin or to push the WPS Button on the router unless your device
will not connect any other way. The reason it is not recommended is that it may alienate other
devices on the network from connecting to the network. If you are prompted to enter this pin
you will usually have an option that says “I do not want to configure this network, I just want to
connect to it” – Choose this option (do not enter the PIN).
13a. Can I connect this router to another router via Ethernet?
Yes. Please see the User Guide: Section 2.3 Router to Router Configuration, on Page 47
(posted online at www.medialinkproducts.com/support
) for assistance.
14a. Can I connect this router to another router wirelessly to create a Wireless Access
Point or Bridge?
Yes, this is possible but the first router must support WDS (WiFi Distribution System) and must
be configured in conjunction with the Medialink router for the extended network to work properly.
For instructions on how to setup 2 Medialink routers to work this way, see the User Guide:
Section 6.5 WDS Settings, on Page 81 (posted online at www.medialinkproducts.com/support)
