QUICK SETUP – OPENING WINDOW

The first window of the Setup Wizard lists the basic steps in the process.

These steps are as follows:

1. Change the Router password.

2. Configure the connection to the Internet.

3. Save the new configuration settings and reboot the system.

QUICK SETUP – CHANGE YOUR ROUTER PASSWORD

This window of the Setup Wizard is used to change the Router password.

D-Link recommends to help secure your network, the user change the

Current Password from the factory default “admin.” The New Password

should be between 1 and 16 alphanumeric characters. Once you have

filled out the fields in this window, including re-typing the new password in

the Confirm Password field, click the

button to continue.

If you do not want to change the password, click the

Skip

button to

QUICK SETUP – PPPOE/PPPOA CONFIGURATION

Type in the User Name and Password used to identify and verify your

account to the ISP. If you are instructed to change the VPI or VCI number,

type in the correct setting in the available entry fields. Most users will not

need to change these settings. The Internet connection cannot function if

these values are incorrect.

connection and encapsulation types are

function if these values are incorrect. Select the specific Connection Type

from the drop-down menu. The available connection and encapsulation

types are

. You may

want to copy the MAC address of your Ethernet adapter to the Router.

Some ISPs record the unique MAC address of your computer’s Ethernet

adapter when you first access their network. This can prevent the Router

(which has a different MAC address) from being allowed access to the

ISPs network (and the Internet). To clone the MAC address of your

computer’s Ethernet adapter, click the

Copy Your PC’s MAC Address

button. This will copy the information to a file used by the Router to

present to the ISP’s server used for DHCP.
