Step 8

How can I setup my router to work with Earthlink DSL or any PPPoE

connection? (continued)

Frequently Asked Questions (continued)

Can I use my D-Link Broadband Router to share my Internet connection

provided by AOL DSL Plus?

In most cases yes. AOL DSL+ 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 1

Log into the web-based configuration (192.168.0.1) and configure the WAN

side to use PPPoE.

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 does not allow for anything

higher than 1400.

Step 4

Apply settings.

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 internet service provider 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.
