Just replaced a wired router with a wireless DI-524 and can not
connect to Verizon DSL through the WAN port. I plugged the modem into
a LAN port and have Internet access from all computers, but when the
modem is plugged into the WAN port nothing. The WAN light does not
even light up. I do not believe it's a faulty WAN port seeing it will
light up if we plug a computer connection into it.

Any suggestions or links to sites that cover this type of set-up?

TIA,
Steve

Steve,

I recommend you go back over the manual that came with the DI-524. Yours is
a typical setup and should be adequately covered in the manual. I also
recommend that you turn the old router back on and review its configuration
settings. They'll be very similar to the settings that you need on the new
router, except (of course) for the wireless settings.

Ron Bandes, CCNP, CTT+, etc.

I called the techs since I had a similar problem.
They instructed me to change one of the settings from 100,000 to 10,000
somewhere in the router possibly LAN settings.
Sorry I am not more specific. :-(
later,
dave

Thanks Dave, that fixed the problem. Just wondering did they explain
why we have to do this?

No they didn't explain anything, but I did not outright ask either since
they try to keep conversations brief!
They must be trying to keep us in the dark. lol

glad I could help. ;-)
