Frequently Asked Questions
Why can´t I access the Web-based configuration?
When entering the IP Address of the DI-824VUP (192.168.0.1), you are not
connecting to the Internet or have to be connected to the Internet. The device has the
utility built-in to a ROM chip in the device itself. Your computer must be on the same
IP subnet to connect to the web-based utility.
To resolve difficulties accessing a Web utility, please follow the steps below.
Step 1
you do not get a solid link light, try using a different cable or connect to a different
port on the device, if possible. If the computer is turned off, the link light may not be
on.
Verify physical connectivity by checking for solid link lights on the device. If
What type of cable should I be using?
The following connections require a Crossover Cable:
Computer to Computer
Computer to Uplink Port
Computer to Access Point
Computer to Print Server
Computer/XBOX/PS2 to DWL-810
Computer/XBOX/PS2 to DWL-900AP+
Uplink Port to Uplink Port (hub/switch)
Normal Port to Normal Port (hub/switch)
The following connections require a Straight-through Cable:
Computer to Residential Gateway/Router
Computer to Normal Port (hub/switch)
Access Point to Normal Port (hub/switch)
Print Server to Normal Port (hub/switch)
Uplink Port to Normal Port (hub/switch)
Rule of Thumb:
”If there is a link light, the cable is right.”

What type of cable should I be using? (continued)
What´s the difference between a crossover cable and a straight-through
cable?
The wiring in crossover and straight-through cables are different. The two types
of cable have different purposes for different
LAN configurations. EIA/TIA 568A/568B
define the wiring standards and allow for
two different wiring color codes as
illustrated in the following diagram.
*The wires with colored backgrounds may
have white stripes and may be denoted
that way in diagrams found elsewhere.
How to tell straight-through cable from
a crossover cable:
The main way to tell the difference
between the two cable types is to compare
the wiring order on the ends of the cable. If
the wiring is the same on both sides, it is
straight-through cable. If one side has opposite wiring, it is a crossover cable.
All you need to remember to properly configure the cables is the pinout order of
the two cable ends and the following rules:
A straight-through cable has identical ends
A crossover cable has different ends
It makes no functional difference which standard you follow for straight-through
cable ends, as long as both ends are the same. You can start a crossover cable
with either standard as long as the other end is the other standard. It makes no
functional difference which end is which. The order in which you pin the cable is
important. Using a pattern other than what is specified in the above diagram
could cause connection problems.
When to use a crossover cable and when to use a straight-through cable:
Computer to Computer – Crossover
Computer to an normal port on a Hub/Switch – Straight-through
Computer to an uplink port on a Hub/Switch – Crossover
Hub/Switch uplink port to another Hub/Switch uplink port – Crossover
Hub/Switch uplink port to another Hub/Switch normal port – Straight-through

Frequently Asked Questions (continued)
How can I setup my DI-824VUP to work with Earthlink DSL or any
PPPoE connection?
Make sure you disable or uninstall any PPPoE software such as WinPoet or Enternet
300 from your computer or you will not be able to connect to the Internet.
Step 1 Upgrade Firmware if needed.
(Please visit the D-Link tech support website at: http://support.dlink.com for the latest
firmware upgrade information.)
Step 2 Take a paperclip and perform a hard reset. With the unit on, use a paperclip
and hold down the reset button on the back of the unit for 10 seconds. Release it and
the router will recycle, the lights will blink, and then stabilize.
Step 3 After the Router stabilizes, open your browser and enter 192.168.0.1 into the
address window and hit the Enter key. When the password dialog box appears, enter
the username admin and leave the password blank. Click OK.
If the password dialog box does not come up repeat Step 2.
Note: Do not run Wizard.
Step 4 Click on the WAN tab on left-hand side of the screen. Select PPPoE.
Step 5 Select Dynamic PPPoE (unless your ISP supplied you with a static IP
Address).
Step 6 In the username field enter ELN/username@earthlink.net and your
password, where username is your own username.
For SBC Global users, enter username@sbcglobal.net.
For Ameritech users, enter username@ameritech.net.
For BellSouth users, enter username@bellsouth.net.
For Mindspring users, enter username@mindspring.com.
For most other ISPs, enter username.
Step 7 Maximum Idle Time should be set to zero. Set MTU to 1492, unless
specified by your ISP, and set Autoreconnect to Enabled.
Note: If you experience problems accessing certain websites and/or email issues,
please set the MTU to a lower number such as 1472, 1452, etc. Contact your ISP for
more information and the proper MTU setting for your connection.

Step 8 Click Apply. When prompted, click Continue. Once the screen refreshes,
unplug the power to the D-Link Router.
Step 9 Turn off your DSL modem for 2-3 minutes. Turn back on. Once the modem
has established a link to your ISP, plug the power back into the D-Link Router. Wait
about 30 seconds and log back into the router.
Step 10 Click on the Status tab in the web configuration where you can view the
device info. Under WAN , click Connect. Click Continue when prompted. You should
now see that the device info will show an IP Address, verifying that the device has
connected to a server and has been assigned an IP Address.
Can I use my DI-824VUP to share my Internet connection provided by
AOL DSL Plus?
In most cases yes. AOL DSL Plus may use PPPoE for authentication bypassing the
client software. If this is the case, then our routers will work with this service. Please
contact AOL if you are not sure.
To set up your router:
Step 1 Log into the Web-based configuration (192.168.0.1) and configure the WAN
side to use PPPoE.
Step 2 Enter your screen name followed by @aol.com for the user name. Enter your
AOL password in the password box.
Step 3 You will have to set the MTU to 1400. AOL DSL does not allow for anything
higher than 1400.
Step 4 Apply settings.
Step 5 Recycle the power to the modem for 1 minute and then recycle power to the
router. Allow 1 to 2 minutes to connect.
If you connect to the Internet with a different Internet Service Provider and want to use
the AOL software, you can do that without configuring the router’s firewall settings.
You need to configure the AOL software to connect using TCP/IP.
Go to http://www.aol.com for more specific configuration information of their software.
