Hi there,

Not terribly familiar with your product, but I looked at its web page and it seems to be a garden-variety router. This means there is a WAN (Wide Area Network) output that goes to th DSL modem and several LAN (Local Area Newtork) outputs. If this is not the case and the router itself is a DSL modem look at the next answer.

Have you tried connecting the NIC (Network Interface Card) form your PC directly into the DSL modem? After powering everything down, that would be my first step. Then plug in the DSL modem and wait for it to settle in. Then turn on your PC and see if it connects to the Internet. If not, call your DSL provider.

If so, power everything down, connect the WAN from the router to the DSL input, then connect your PC to the LAN input. Power things up in this sequence: DSL modem, router, PC.

The config IP address is 192.168.2.1 and there's an excellent support page here:

Best of luck.
