Section 2 - Installation
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 
WAN 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,  WAN  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.

Section 2 - Installation
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 OK 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.

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 WAN port of the D-Link router. 
8.  You  may  now  use  the  other  three  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
