Ethernet LAN plus one USB connected printer, to share an Internet
connection via a broadband technology.
The broadband connection may be in any common form including DSL or cable modems.
The Router is easy to install and use and take just a few minutes to set up. . The D-Link DIR-100 also
incorporates many advanced features, typically found in more expensive routers. After completing the steps
outlined in the
Quick Installation Guide
(included in your package) you will have the ability to share a
single Internet connection as well as sharing information and resources such as files and printers.
The DIR-100 is compatible with most popular operating systems, including Macintosh, Linux and Windows,
and can be integrated into an existing network.

Connecting the Router
The Router provides the connection between two networks, a private Ethernet LAN and the public Internet
(WAN). Choose a location for the Router where Ethernet devices can be connected to the LAN ports and the
WAN port can be connected to the cable modem or DSL modem that provides the broadband Internet
connection.
The Router, and all electrical devices should be protected from dust, water, moisture and heat. Make sure
network cables, power adapters and power cords are placed safely out of the way so they do not create a
tripping hazard. As with any electrical appliance, observe common sense safety procedures.
Place the Router on a shelf, desktop, or other stable platform. Ideally you should be able to view the LED
indicators on the front panel.
Connect Router to Ethernet LAN
The Router can be connected to computers or other Ethernet devices using the four Ethernet LAN ports on
the rear panel. Any connection to an Ethernet concentrating device such as a switch or hub must operate at a
speed of 10/100 Mbps only. When connecting the Router to any Ethernet device capable of operating at
speeds between 10~100Mbps, be sure that the device has auto-negotiation (NWay) enabled for the
connecting port. Use standard CAT5 or better Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors. The Ethernet LAN ports
are auto MDI-II/MDI-X so you can use straight-through or crossover Ethernet cabling.
The rules governing Ethernet cable lengths apply to the LAN to Router connection. Be sure the Ethernet
cables connected to the LAN ports do not exceed 100 meters in length.
