Section 2 - Installation
If you are connecting the D-Link router to another router to use as a wireless access point and/or switch, you will have to do the following before
connecting the router to your network:
• Disable UPnP
™
• Disable DHCP
• Change the LAN IP address to an available address on your network. The LAN ports on the router cannot accept a DHCP address
from your other router.
To connect to another router, please follow the steps below:
1.
Plug the power into the router and use the power switch to power up the router. Connect one of your computers to the router (LAN port) using
an Ethernet cable. Make sure your IP address on the computer is 192.168.0.xxx (where xxx is between 2 and 254). Please see the
Networking
Basics
section for more information. If you need to change the settings, write down your existing settings before making any changes. In most
cases, your computer should be set to receive an IP address automatically in which case you will not have to do anything to your computer.
2.

and then click
Network Settings
. Uncheck the
Enable DHCP Server
checkbox. Click
Save Settings
to continue.
5.
Under Router Settings, enter an available IP address and the subnet mask of your network. Click

to save your settings. Use this
new IP address to access the configuration utility of the router in the future. Close the browser and change your computer’s IP settings back to
the original values as in Step 1.

PowerLine Installation Considerations
Plan the location of your PowerLine devices:
1. Connect the PowerLine devices to electrical outlets that are not controlled by a wall switch in order to avoid accidentally turning off the power
to the device.
2. Do not connect the Wireless N PowerLine Gigabit Router to an extension cord, surge protector, or power strip. This might prevent the device
from working correctly or it may reduce the network performance.
3. Avoid using the Wireless N PowerLine Gigabit Router in an electrical outlet that is located near an appliance that uses a lot of power, such as a
washer, dryer or refrigerator. This may prevent the adapter from working correctly, or may negatively impact the network performance.
4. Verify that your PowerLine devices are electrically rated to operate with the power available in your location.
5. To help prevent against electrical shock, be sure to plug the power cables into properly grounded electrical outlets.
