DIR-100 Ethernet Broadband Router
Power On Router
To power on the Router:
1.
Insert the AC Power Adapter
cord into the power receptacle
located on the rear panel of
the Router and plug the
adapter into a suitable nearby power source. See the back panel illustration above to view the power
receptacle.
2.
The Power LED indicator will immediately light green and remain lit. The Status LED should light
steady green initially and begin to blink after a few seconds.
3.
If you have the Router connected to your network you can look at the Ethernet Link/Act LED indicators
to make sure they have valid connections. The Router will attempt to establish the WAN connection, if
the WAN line is connected and the connection is properly configured this should light up after several
seconds.
Reset
To reset the system settings to factory defaults, please follow these steps:
1.
Leave the device powered on, do not disconnect the power.
2.
Press the reset button and hold (use a paper-clip). See the back panel illustration above to view the
location of the reset button.
3.
Keep the button pressed about 4 seconds.
4. Release the button.
The DIR-100 will then automatically reboot itself. Upon restarting the Router will load the factory default
configuration settings including the default IP address 192.168.0.1 a subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and the
DHCP server active.

Basic Router Configuration
The first time you setup the Router it is recommended that you configure the WAN connection using a single
computer making sure that both the computer and the Router are not connected to the LAN. Once the WAN
connection is functioning properly, you may continue to make changes to Router configuration including IP
settings and DHCP setup. This chapter is concerned mainly with using your computer to configure the WAN
connection. Instructions are also provided for basic LAN configuration. The following chapter describes how
to set up the advanced features of the Router.
Configuration Summary
1.
Connect to the Router
To configure various settings used by the Router for Internet and Wireless
LAN access it is first necessary to access the Router’s management HTML-based interface. This is
done using an ordinary web browser. Your computer must be able to “see” the Router before it can
manage it using a browser. If the Router is in the same “neighborhood” or subnet as the Router, you
should be able to access the management software. Therefore, you must first make sure your
computer has IP settings that place it in the same subnet as the Router. The easiest way to make sure
your computer has the correct IP settings is to configure it to use the DHCP server in the Router. The
DHCP server will automatically enable your computer to use a browser to manage the Router.
Appendix B, Configuring IP Settings on Your Computer, describes how to change the IP
configuration for a computer running a Windows operating system to be a DHCP client. If you are
running another operating system, make sure your computer is configured as a DHCP client so it can
automatically obtain IP settings from the Router. Some operating systems will automatically select
the best IP settings. Consult the user manual for the operating system (OS) if you are unsure.
2.
Configure the Internet (WAN) Connection
Most users will be able to complete this process using
the
Setup Wizard
. The Setup Wizard can be launched once you have successfully connected with
the Router’s management software.
There are different methods used to establish the WAN
connection to the ISP’s network and ultimately to the Internet. Your service provider should provide
all the information needed to configure the WAN connection for Internet access.
Configuring IP Settings on Your Computer
In order to configure your system to receive IP settings from the Router it must first have the TCP/IP
protocol installed. If you have an Ethernet port on your computer, it probably already has TCP/IP protocol
installed. See Appendix B for instruction on how to configure Windows computers to be DHCP clients.
For computers running non-Windows operating systems, follow the instructions for your OS that configure
the system to receive an IP address from the Router, that is, configure the system to be a DHCP client.
For computers using manually configured IP settings, make sure the IP address is on the same subnet as the
Router. The computer should use an IP address in the range 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254 with a subnet
mask of 255.255.255.0.

Accessing the Configuration Manager
Now that your computer’s IP settings allow it to communicate with the Router, you can access the
configuration software.
To use the web-based management software, launch a suitable web browser and direct it to the IP address of
the Router. Type in
http://
followed by the default IP address,
192.168.0.1
in the address
bar of the browser. The URL in the
address bar should read:
. Once entered, the
user will be prompted to enter the username and password to
access the Configuration Manager, as show below. A new
window will appear and you will be prompted for a user name
and password to access the web-based manager.
NOTE:
The wrong proxy server settings on your browser can prevent connection to the web
manager. If you are having trouble connecting to the web interface of the Router, configure the
proxy settings to bypass the proxy server or disable use of proxy servers and try to connect
again.
To check proxy setting for Windows Internet Explorer:
1.
In Windows, click on the
Start
button, go to
Settings
and choose
Control Panel
.
2. In the
Control Panel
window, double-click on the
Internet Options
icon. (Alternatively you can
access this
Internet Options
menu using the
Tools
pull-down menu in Internet Explorer.)
3. Click the
Connections
tab and click on the
LAN Settings
button.
4.
Verify that the “Use proxy server” option is NOT checked. If it is checked, click in the checked box
to deselect the option and click OK.

Login
Use the default user name “admin” and no password for first time setup. You should change the web-based
manager access user name and password once you have verified that a connection can be established. The
user name and password allows any PC within the same subnet as the Router to access the web-based
manger.
