D-Link Router/Modem....

Ryo Hazuki

Well,
Bought this:

D-Link wireless medem/router,
Tring to get it to work with BT Broadband, and using it to replace my existing zyxel router/modem that bt provided..
Did I buy the right thing or am I screwed?, the adsl2+ thing confuses me..

Ive been playing around with settings all day and all last night and I cant get the the bloody thing to establish a connection. The wireless end of things is fine, just the actual Wan connection is not linking up in the status page..

Been to BT's website, gotten the connection settings etc etc, made no difference.
You cant get BT on the phone.. Waited 50mins last night, and 45 this morning.. Disaster..

I still have this feeling I didnt buy the right thing though..
Any Suggestions guys?

Check that the PPoE method is correct
Which Annex etc..
Adsl2+ modems do work on plain vanilla ADSL

Don't bother ringing BT as they only support there own brand (Zyxel). You will get more expert help on boards.

hmm PPPoE is LLC mode.

Wan settings page says:
WAN Setting: PPPoE/PPPoA
Connection Type: PPPoE LLC


As regard annex,

In the adsl status page of router setup It says:

Modulation: ADSL_G.dmt
Annex Mode: ANNEX_A
Line State: Connected

I would consider myself fairly handy with this sort of thing, but this has me completly stumped..

maybe cable problem ?

Ryo Hazuki

Nah, i wouldnt think so. im using the same cable as for the D-link & the zyxel, which is a long telephone lead that came with my dreamcast! Its definiety getting the dsl signal, light on the front indicates that..

What about MTU, MRU Settings?
Currently they are at 1400 Bytes, and 1492 bytes respectively.

Theres also a ATM Service Category, UBR.

I had a bug on a different Dlink router where the MTU/MRU was not actually as displayed.

Changing it, saving and changing back fixed it.

Also some settings only "really used"/"saved" if you "reboot" via the tools page rather than simply cycling the power.

Ryo Hazuki

If i knew what to change them to, or even if they had to be changed..
Bt dont say anything except as default or preset..

Check the VPI and VCI values are correct

Have you tried upgrading the Firmware?

Can you connect to the Zyxel Modem and copy the settings/values from it?

Change then to a lower number (say 50 less, it doesn't matter) , save, reboot and then put them back exactly as they are, save and reboot. A bug in some Dlink routers

Have you put those basic settings correctly?

Did you get your Dlink router to work with BT?? I have a D link router that worked greta with UTV until I changed to BT - what a crap move that was

With such a move the only thing that should need changing is the user name and password

Antigone05

what os are you using? i know its simple but DLink are not fully compatable with Vista

creavenm

Using windows XP. Right in that only the username and password changed, but nothing. Similar problem to the original posting

I bought Dlink 524 wireless router and ran in to similar problem, plugged my Zylex modem into it (I'm with BT) and could not get internet access though the router. Modem still worked fine on its own.

Anyways the nub of it was DLINK trying to do PPPOE when ZYLEX also does it seems to cause an issue. I disabled PPPOE on the Dlink WAN configuration (since the ZYLEX is doing this anyway) , and told it to use dynamic IP instead - again just for the WAN configuration. That sorted it.
