Before you Begin

Installation

This section will walk you through the installation process.

Please configure the router with the computer that was last connected directly to your modem. Also, you can only use

the Ethernet port on your modem. If you were using the USB connection before using the router, then you must turn off

your modem, disconnect the USB cable and connect an Ethernet cable to the Internet port on the router, and then turn

the modem back on. In some cases, you may need to call your ISP to change connection types (USB to Ethernet).

If you have DSL and are connecting via PPPoE, make sure you disable or uninstall any PPPoE software such as

WinPoet, Broadjump, or Enternet 300 from your computer or you will not be able to connect to the Internet.

If you are connecting the D-Link router to another router to use as a 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. 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.
