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.
