Section  - 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 19.168.0.xxx (where xxx is between   and 54). 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.
.  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 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  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 v\
alues as in Step 1.

6. Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the router and reconnect your compute\
r 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 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.
