D-Link DIR-826L User Manual
Section 2 - Installation
Note:
It is strongly recommended to replace your existing router with the DIR-826L instead of using both. If your modem is a combo
router, you may want to contact your ISP or manufacturer’s user guide to put the router into Bridge mode, which will ‘turn off’ the
router (NAT) functions.
If you are connecting the DIR-826L router to an existing router to use as a wireless access point and/or switch, you will have
to do the following to the DIR-826L before connecting it 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, 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
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.
6. Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the router and reconnect your computer to your network.
7. Connect an Ethernet cable in one of the
LAN
ports of the router and connect it to your other router. Do not plug anything
into the Internet (WAN) port of the D-Link router.
8. You may now use the other 3 LAN ports to connect other Ethernet devices and computers. To configure your wireless network,
open a web browser and enter the IP address you assigned to the router. Refer to the
Configuration
and
Wireless
Security
sections for more information on setting up your wireless network.
