D-Link Wireless routers have a convenient Setup Wizard to walk you through the router
configuration. To set up a D-Link router, you connect the router to your modem,
connect a computer to the network and run the Setup Wizard. The process differs
slightly depending on the type of network connection you use.

How to Configure a
D Link Modem
If you have a modem and router all-in-one, also known as a wireless gateway, you
need to put the modem in Bridge mode before attaching the D-Link router. This
option turns off the built-in router.

Step 2: Connect the Ethernet Cable
Tip
If using a cable modem, unplug the modem before connecting the router. Plug
the modem back in after the router is connected.
Run the Ethernet cable from the modem to the WAN port on the router. This port is
often colored yellow to distinguish it from outgoing Ethernet ports, but on the D-Link
524 and D-Link 624 the WAN port is black.

How to Set up a DLink Wireless Router | eHow
If you are using a D-Link DSL 2640T, it has a built-in DSL modem. Instead of
connecting the device to another modem with an Ethernet cable, you should connect
a phone cord from a phone jack to the DSL port on the back of the D-Link 2640T.
Wait for the Power and WAN status lights to come on. This should take only a few
seconds.
Connect Your Computer to the Router
Wired Connection
Connect an Ethernet cord to the Ethernet port on your computer and to one of the
Ethernet ports on the D-Link. You can use any of the Ethernet ports on the router
except for the WAN port, which should be connected to your modem.

Step 1: View List of Available Networks
Click on Network icon on the System Tray.
Step 2: Select Network
Click on the name of the network associated with the router. This is written on the
configuration card packaged with the router. By default, it is dlink- followed by a short
string of digits.
Step 3: Enter Network Password
Enter a password or network key. This is the password written on the configuration
card.
Step 4: Connect to Network
Click Connect to join the network.

Configure the Router
Step 1: Access the Router Settings
Open a Web browser and type the router's IP address into the address bar. The IP
address is 192.168.0.1 for the D-Link 524 and 624. For many models, including the
2604T, the address is 192.168.1.1.
Step 2: Enter Username and Password
Enter a username and password and press OK.. Unless stated otherwise on the
instructions that came packaged with the router, the username is admin. For the AirPlus
Xtreme, including the 524 and 624 models, the password should be left blank. For the
2640T, the password is admin. For some D-Link models the password is password.
Step 3: Run Setup Wizard
Start the Setup Wizard to configure your router. Click Run Wizard or Next. The router
automatically selects most settings based on common defaults for your connection
type. It then asks you a series of questions to further configure the router.
Step 4: Select Your Connection Type
(Image: D-Link)
Select the radial button next to your connection type. Most cable modem users should
select DHCP unless you are know that your provider requires a static IP address, in
which case you should select Static.
Most DSL and ADSL users should select PPPoE. If you select PPPoE, you are prompted
for your username and password. Enter the PPPoE username and password provided by
your Internet Service Provider. Click Next to continue.
Step 5: Change Your Network Name and Password
Enter a new network name and password for your local wireless network. The network
name should be memorable. The network password should be a combination of letters,
numbers and symbols that are memorable for you but difficult for others to guess. Click
