Configuration

This section will show you how to set up and configure your new D-Link router using the Web-based configuration utility.

Web-based Configuration Utility

Connect to the Router

To configure the WAN connection used by the router it is first necessary to communicate with the router through its management interface, which is

HTML-based and can be accessed using a web browser. 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 next section describes how to change the IP configuration for a computer running a Windows operating

system to be a DHCP client.

To access the configuration utility, open a web-browser such as Internet

Explorer and enter the IP address of the router (

192.168.0.1

).

Type

“admin

” for the

User Name

in the entry field. If this is the first time

configuring the router, leave the

Password

field blank, there is no default

password.

If you get a

Page Cannot be Displayed

error, please refer to the

Troubleshooting

section for assistance.

DHCP (Dynamic IP Address)

- For Dynamic IP Address connections,

you may want to copy the MAC address of your Ethernet adapter to the

router. Some ISPs use the unique MAC address of your computer’s

Ethernet adapter for identification and for IP address assignment (DHCP)

when you first access their network. This can prevent the router (which

has a different MAC address) from being allowed access to the ISP’s

network (and the Internet). To clone the MAC address of your computer’s

Ethernet adapter, click the

Clone MAC Address

button. Click

Next

to

continue.

Username/Password (PPPoE)

- For PPPoE connections, select the

Address Mode

Dynamic IP or Static IP, type in the

Username

and

Password

used to identify and verify your account to the ISP. Retype the

password again and if necessary, type a

Service Name

or domain name.

For Static IP address mode, type the IP Address assigned to your

account. Your ISP should provide this IP address along with other account

information. Click

Next

to continue.
