Instructions
Step 1
Connect the DLS modem to the telephone line using a splitter. This device will reduce interference, thereby increasing the quality of the Internet channel. Connect the modem to AC power and turn it on. Connect a network cable to the Ethernet channel of this unit. Connect the other end to the LAN port of your computer.
Step 2
Open the web interface of the DLS modem settings by entering its IP address in the browser. Go to the WAN menu and configure the connection to the provider's server. Be sure to turn off the DHCP function if available in this menu. Restart the modem and open the Status menu. Make sure the device can access the internet.
Step 3
Now, unplug the network cable from your computer and plug it into the Internet or WAN connector on your router. Never use LAN connectors for this. Connect the network card of your computer to the LAN port of the router using a second cable.
Step 4
Open the settings menu of this network device. Go to Internet Setup. Select the Static IP-address option. Set the internal IP address of the DLS modem as an Internet access point. Enable NAT, Firewall and DHCP functions. Save the settings for this menu.
Step 5
Open Wi-Fi and create a wireless hotspot. Select the options that the required notebooks will work with. Better to use quality security types such as WPA2-Personal or WPA-PSK. Save the Wi-Fi menu settings and reboot the router.
Step 6
Check if the equipment has access to the internet. Try opening web pages on a computer connected to the router. Connect mobile computers to the created access point. It is recommended not to disconnect the modem and router from the mains unless absolutely necessary.
