There's an article at:

which says:
The D-Link DSL-300G+ is a true ADSL modem. Once the modem is connected
to the Internet it passes the public IP address via DHCP Spoofing across
to the host device (i.e. computer/router etc). Due to the way the modem
works not all product are compatible, therefore we have created this
'advisory' guide to assist you in choosing if the product is right for
you.
The D-Link DSL-300G+ works with the following makes/models
Computers known to work
Works with all Operating Systems including Windows, Linux, Unix, MacOS
Cable/DSL Routers known to work
All D-Link Cable/DSL Routers
Netgear WGR614 54Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router
Buffalo WBR-G54 54Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router
Belkin F5D5230u4 4-Port Cable/DSL Router - Requires latest Firmware
Known Compatibility problems
Belkin F5D7130 54Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router - Working on a Fix
So, what is it about the devices that don't work with it which causes
them to fall foul of it? Why should they not like the DHCP spooofing?
Presumably, if I could get the modem to do DHCP bridging I might be able
to get the router to log on via PPTP. Hmm.
