I admit up front that I don't know beans about this, so I kinda need some education.

I have a D-Link DI-614+ that indicates in the setup that my cable modem should be connected to the WAN port on the router.

When I connect to the WAN port I get nothing. If I try to use the D-Link "wizard" to set the initial settings it hangs on the auto detecting "WAN" attachments (that isn't exactly the wording…i assume that it is searching for the modem, but I don't know). I've tried to set it up manually, but still nothing.

When I connect the modem to one of the LAN ports I can connect. I'm using it now.

What am I missing on this? I've reset the router and the modem. I've searched the D-Link help files, as well as, the D-Link site. Nothing.

Thanks for any help. :confused:

Hmmm, don't know what I did…or how I did it! I now have the modem connected to the WAN port and everything appears to working correctly.
