I brought this new router Dlink Dir850L.
My ISP provides me with a media folder that can be accessed by creating a shortcut on my PC. But for that it requires my router to enable DHCP along with PPoE
But there is no such option in this DIR 850L router. If I use DHCP connection then am not able to surf internet because my ISP provides PPoE internet connection .
Previously I was able to use both these on my old Tp-link router.
Any suggestion please ?

• What Hardware version is your router? Look at sticker under the router case.
• Link>What Firmware version is currently loaded? Found on the routers web page under status.
• What region are you located?

Internet Service Provider and Modem Configurations

• What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
• What ISP Modem Mfr. and model # do you have?

For Rev A models, check for PPPoE menu drop down option as seen here:

Let us know if you can find the menu option...

This doesn't make sense. The ISP is either PPPoE or Dynamic. Not sure how it can do both. Within PPPoE, you can have a dynamic connection (by default) or a Static.

How do you access the folder? Is it just a URL?

Ya, doesn't make sense...

I can access folder by
Right Clicking on desktop (Windows)>new >shortcut
in the shortcut location I give address \\192.168.100.254 . Done.
But after switching to this DLINK router I am not able to access this address.

D-Link routers use 192.168.0.1 so try 192.168.0.254?

D-Link routers use 192.168.0.1 so try 192.168.0.254?

this one uses 172.16.0.1

[FurryNutz]

Then try 172.16.0.1 or .254?
