• Users with DSL providers - If you are using a PPPoE connection, you will need
your PPPoE user name and password. If you do not have this information, contact
your Internet provider. Do not proceed until you have this information.
• Users with Cable providers - Make sure you unplug the power to your modem.
In some cases, you may need to turn it o for up to 5 minutes.
• Advanced Users - If your ISP provided you with a modem/router combo, you will
need to set it to “bridge” mode so the DIR-890L router can work properly. Please
contact your ISP or refer to the user manual for your modem/router device.
