Setup

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

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

Internet Explorer

v6.0 or later, Mozilla Firefox v1.0 or later, Safari 2.0 or later, or Google Chrome 1.0

or later and enter the IP address of the Router (default is

192.168.1.1

).

The login dialog box will appear:

1.

Type

admin

in the User Name ﬁeld.

2.

Enter

admin

in the Password ﬁeld.

3.

Click the

OK

button to log into 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.
