How to Connect the T-Mobile DLink Wireless Router
If you have multiple devices like computers, mobile phones or game consoles in your home that can use a wireless Internet connection to get online, you may want to consider getting a wireless router. You can manually install the T-Mobile wireless router by D-Link easily and in just a few simple steps. However, just connecting the router to your modem and computer will leave your wireless signal unsecured. You'll want to use the installation software to set up some security to protect your connection and data.

I used to have cable and my router worked perfectly. I just switched to dsl and wasn't sure how to connect my router and modem, but I followed the instructions given on this page and rechecked everything but it still isn't working. The only light on my router is the power light. I need my dsl modem and t-mobile router to work together, I haven't been able to have my home phone work in a few weeks since I got dsl. PLEASE HELP!!!! I don't know what else to try.
