Note: Please configure the DSA-3100 with the computer that was last connected directly to the modem. Also, you can only use the Ethernet port on your modem. If you were using the USB connection before using the DSA-3100, then you must turn off your modem, disconnect the USB cable and connect an Ethernet cable to the WAN port on the DSA-3100, and then turn the modem back on. In some cases, you may need to call your ISP to change connection types (USB to Ethernet).

Step 1: Connect the Ethernet cable from your modem into the WAN port on the back of the D-Link DSA-3100.

Step 2: Open a web browser and enter the IP address of the DSA-3100 in the address bar (default is 192.168.0.40). Be sure to include https:// followed by the IP address. Press Enter.

Step 3: The default username is admin (all lower case) and the default password is admin (all lower case). Click OK.

Step 4: Click the Home tab and then click WAN on the left.

Step 5: Select your connection type using the radio buttons.
Static IP Address – If your ISP issued you a static IP address, choose this option and enter the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.

Dynamic IP Address – If you connect to the Internet without having to authenticate with a username and password, then choose this option.

PPPoE Client – If you connect to your DSL connection using a PPPoE connection, then choose this option. Be sure to enter your username and password. Contact your ISP if you are unsure of what to enter. Choose Enabled using the radio buttons next to Dial on demand. Enter a value next to Maximum Idle Time if you want your connection to terminate after x minutes of inactivity.

Step 6: Click Apply and then click Restart to apply the new settings.

Please make sure you know your username and password. Also, you will need to disable or uninstall the PPPoE software (i.e. WinPoet, Macpoet, Enternet 300) on your computers. PPPoE is built-in to your D-Link router and is not needed on the computer.

NOTE: About 90% of our calls and emails regarding PPPoE are solved by recycling power to the modem and the gateway(see step 7 below).

Also, once you have confirmed that your configuration is correct it could take five minutes or longer to connect.

Step 1: Connect your DSL modem to the WAN port on the D-Link gateway. Use the same cable that was used to connect your computer to the modem. The WAN light on the gateway should illuminate, verifying a good physical link.

Step 2: Connect the same computer that was originally connected to the modem to an open LAN port on the gateway. The corresponding port light will illuminate verifying that you have a good physical connection.

Step 3: Release and Renew the IP address for your computer. The address you renew should be in the 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.199 range.

Use the directions below to Release and Renew your IP address.

For Windows 2000 and XP:

Go to Start>Run and enter cmd. Click OK.

At the DOS prompt enter, ipconfig/release and then hit the Enter key to release your IP address. Then enter, ipconfig/renew and hit Enter to renew an address from the gateway.

The IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway information will be returned with this command. Notice in this example that the IP address is 192.168.0.104 and that the default gateway is 192.168.0.1. This information verifies the network adapter is properly configured and the computer is communicating with the gateway.

Step 4: Open your browser and type 192.168.0.1 in the Address window, then hit the Enter key. You do not need to type http://, only the IP address of the gateway. This will connect you to the web configuration utility that lets you manage the D-Link gateway. You are not on the Internet at this point. Type admin for the System Password, then click the Login button to login.

Step 5: Select the Setup menu option from the bottom of the screen. Next to WAN Type, click Change. Select PPP Over Ethernet. Click Save.

Step 6: Next, enter your PPPoE information.

PPPoE Account: Enter your user name.

Earthlink users – Enter ELN/username@earthlink.net
Mindspring users – Enter username@mindspring.com
SBC Global users - Enter username@sbcglobal.net
SW Bell and others – Enter username

PPPoE Password
Enter your password. Remember it is case-sensitive.

PPPoE Service Name: Keep blank.

Maximum Idle Time: Set to 999 seconds and check Auto-reconnect.

Assigned IP address: This is for PPPoE users with a static IP address.

Click Save. Click the Reboot button, then click OK when prompted to “Reboot right now?”. This will take you back to the Device Information page. Keep this browser page open.

Step 7: Power down the D-Link gateway. Either turn it off from the power switch, or unplug the AC power cord from the gateway. With the gateway turned off, recycle the power on the DSL modem. Again, turn it off if it has a switch or just unplug it from the wall outlet. Wait 2-3 minutes and then power up the modem only. Wait until all of the lights on the modem have stabilized. After you are sure that the modem has stabilized, power up the gateway.

Step 8: Allow 30 seconds for the gateway to power up. Click refresh on your browser and it may ask to enter your password again. From the device information page, click Connect. If an IP address appears, click Log Out and you should be able to connect to the internet.

NOTE: It may take a few minutes to make a connection to your ISP. Please be patient. If you have configured your gateway according to this FAQ, your configuration is correct.
