i bought a used adsl wireless router d-link dsl-2640T. i'm total noob in case of routers.
can you please help me to connect it to my adsl network?
currently i'm connected through a adsl router that bsnl(type 1 i guess) provided me. i want to replace this router with new one.

please explain step by step as i dont know anything about networking and all.

thanx

no help. :(

i opened router config page. there was an option for 'run wizard'.

on opening it, it asked for time zone, connection type (pppoe, dynamic ip, static ip and 1more), i selected pppoe, then it asked for some settings, username n password(i guess we can put anything in username n password, so i did that. username: bharat password: bharat91).
changed vpi/vci setting to 0,35.
left every other setting as default.

BUT still no connection. :(

okey will do that when i come back to home. right now i have to leave for my hometown. will come back after 4th. :)
thanx for your help

EDIT: in the properties of network connection, my networking guy entered ip address n dns manually according to the adsl router by bsnl. do i need to change something there for the new router?

P.S.: i tired with both, previous settings n 'obtain an IP address automatically', but atleast router config page was opening up with previous setting, with the automatic setting i coudnt access even that. :(
