Check your IP address
After you install your new D-Link adapter, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from 
a DHCP server (i.e. wireless router) automatically. To verify your IP \
address, please follow the steps below.
Click on Start > Run. In the run box type cmd and click OK.
At the prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter.
This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and 
the default gateway of your adapter.
If  the  address  is  0.0.0.0,  check  your  adapter 
installation,  security  settings,  and  the  settings 
on your router. Some firewall software programs 
may  block  a  DHCP  request  on  newly  installed 
adapters. 
If you are connecting to a wireless network at a hotspot (e.g. hotel, coffee shop, airport), please contact an employee 
or administrator to verify their wireless network settings.

Statically Assign an IP address
If you are not using a DHCP capable gateway/router, or you need to assign a static IP address, please follow the steps 
below:
Step 1
Windows® XP - Click on Start > Control Panel > Network Connections.
Windows® 2000 - From the desktop, right-click My Network Places > Properties.
Step 2
Right-click on the Local Area Connection which represents your D-Link network adapter and select Properties.
Step 3
Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties.
Step 4
Click Use the following IP address and enter an IP address that is on the same subnet as your network or the LAN 
IP address on your router. 
Example:  If  the  router´s  LAN  IP  address  is  192.168.0.1,  make  your  IP  address 
192.168.0.X where X is a number between 2 and 99. Make sure that the number 
you choose is not in use on the network. Set Default Gateway the same as the LAN 
IP address of your router (192.168.0.1). 
Set Primary DNS the same as the LAN IP address of your router (192.168.0.1). The 
Secondary DNS is not needed or you may enter a DNS server from your ISP.\
Step 5
Click OK twice to save your settings.

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 
Internet 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 se\
conds). 
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, Internet 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. 
9. Skip to page 12 to configure your router.

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 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.
Connect to Another Router

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.
