Cannot connect to Internet, DNS server not responding

Thought I'd try a TL-WDR3500 that I bought a few years ago but never used. I went through the web-based setup but could not conect to the Internet. I reset the router to default & tried again but still could not connect. I tried multiple WAN Connection Types but to no avail. When I trouble shoot through Windows it always says The DNS server is not responding.
I have a DSL modem and it is set for PPP on the modem. My old D-Link router internet connection type is set to Dynamic IP, and that combination works.
The TP-Link router detects the WAN Connection type as PPPoE, but that does not work. Doesn't matter if the Secondary Connection is set to Disabled or Dynamic IP.
If I change the WAN Connection type to DHCP it still does not work. And again it doesn't matter if the Secondary Connection is set to Disabled or Dynamic IP.
Any suggestions on a setting that perhaps might be wrong?
Thanks in advance.
