Hardware Installation
This section will walk you through the installation process. Placement of the router is very important. Do not place the router in an enclosed area
such as a closet, cabinet, attic or garage.
Before You Begin
• The router is designed for use with the Ethernet port on your broadband modem. If you were using the USB connection before using
the router, you must turn o your modem and disconnect the USB cable. Connect an Ethernet cable to the WAN/Internet port on
the router, and then turn the modem back on. In some cases, you may need to call your ISP to change your connection type (USB to
Ethernet).
• If you have DSL and are connecting via PPPoE, be sure to disable or uninstall any PPPoE software such as WinPoet, Broadjump, or
Enternet 300 from your computer. Otherwise you will not be able to connect to the Internet.

Wireless Installation Considerations
The router lets you access your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network.
Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may
limit the range. Ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or oce. The key to
maximizing the wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:
1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the D-Link router and other network devices to a minimum. Each wall or
ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range from 3 to 90 feet (1 to 30 meters.) Position your devices so that the number of walls
and/or ceilings is minimized.
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (0.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to
be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick. Position devices so that the signal
will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.
3. Try to position access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through open doorways and drywall.
Materials such as glass, metal, brick, insulation, concrete and water can aect wireless performance. Large objects such as sh
tanks, mirrors, le cabinets, metal doors and aluminum studs may also have a negative eect on range.
4. Keep your product at least 3 to 6 feet (1-2 meters) away from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.
5. If you are using 2.4 GHz cordless phones, make sure that the 2.4 GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless device as
possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone in not in use. In some cases, cordless phones, X-10 wireless devices, and
electronic equipment such as ceiling fans, uorescent lights, and home security systems may dramatically degrade wireless
connectivity.

Section 2 - Hardware Installation
Connect to Cable/DSL/Satellite Modem
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 o on your modem. If there is no on/o switch, 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 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 into the router and connect to an outlet or power strip. Wait about 30 seconds for the router to boot
up.
7. Turn on your computer.
8. Verify that the Power LED on the router is lit. If the Power LED does not light up, make sure your computer, modem, and router
are powered, on and verify that the cables connected correctly.
9. In a later section in this manual we’ll discuss the Web GUI conguration of the router in more detail..
