The routers must be setup to your PPPoE settings or when connected directly to a PC you have to install PPPoE software on the PCs. And when you go back to using the routers, you get to uninstall the PPPoE software.

I have been on Verizon DSL for several years connnected with the older Fujitsu modem. I added a Linksys wireless B router for laptop access a few years ago.This has been on 2 PCs with the one now running Vista and the laptop running XP.
A month ago I bought a D Link wireless N router that I had hoped would give the laptop a little more speed and gain new technology. I never got it working after some calls to Verizon that came down to me having a frame relay package DSL instead of the ATM connection.
During the testing of all of that I discovered that if I bypass the router and plug from the DSL modem to my PC I can't access the internet.I tried the laptop direct and still could not.I know from past trouble shooting that I could plug direct.My pc worked like that before I got the router.If my old Linksys died I could not access the net.Would anyone know why I have this problem?
