Check your IP address

After you install your new D-Link adapter, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a

DHCP server (i.e. wireless router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below.

Click on

Start

>

Run

. In the run box type

cmd

and click

OK

.

At the prompt, type

ipconﬁg

and press

Enter

.

This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and

the default gateway of your adapter.

If the address is 0.0.0.0, check your adapter

installation, security settings, and the settings

on your router. Some ﬁrewall software programs

may block a DHCP request on newly installed

adapters.

If you are connecting to a wireless network at a hotspot (e.g. hotel, coffee shop, airport), please contact an employee

or administrator to verify their wireless network settings.

If you are connecting the router to a cable/DSL/satellite modem, please follow the steps below:

1. Place the router in an open and central location. Do not plug the power adapter into the router.

2. Turn the power off on your modem. If there is no on/off switch, then unplug the modem’s power adapter. Shut down

your computer.

3. Unplug the Ethernet cable (that connects your computer to your modem) from your computer and place it into the

Internet port on the router.

4. Plug an Ethernet cable into one of the four LAN ports on the router. Plug the other end into the Ethernet port on your

computer.

5. Turn on or plug in your modem.

Wait for the modem to boot (about 30 seconds).

6. Plug the power adapter to the router and connect to an outlet or power strip. Wait about 30 seconds for the router

to boot.

7. Turn on your computer.

8. Verify the link lights on the router. The power light, Internet light, and the LAN light (the port that your computer is

plugged into) should be lit. If not, make sure your computer, modem, and router are powered on and verify the cable

connections are correct.

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. 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. Open a web browser and enter

http://192.168.0.1

and press

Enter

. When the login window appears, set the user

name to

Admin

and leave the password box empty. Click

Log In

to continue.

3. Click on

Advanced

and then click

Advanced Network

. Uncheck the Enable UPnP checkbox. Click

Save Settings

to continue.

4. Click

Setup

and then click

Network Settings

. Uncheck the Enable DHCP Server server checkbox. Click

Save

Settings

to continue.

5. Under Router Settings, enter an available IP address and the subnet mask of your network. Click

Save Settings

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.

network, open a web browser and enter the IP address you assigned to the router. Refer to the
