A wireless router broadcasts radio signals containing packets of data to compute

rs within range. You can plug a wireless router into a broadband modem to create
a wireless network capable of sharing Internet service with connected devices.
While setting up the hardware itself is essentially the same from router to rout
er, the network settings configuration for a D-Link is different from that of ot
her brands. After connecting the router and modem to one another, log in to the
D-Link router from a Web browser to set up the Wi-Fi network.
Hardware Setup
Step 1
Disconnect the modem from its power adapter. Connect an Ethernet cable to the mo
dem.
Step 2
Plug the other end of the cable into the "Internet" port on the back of the wire
less router.
Step 3
Connect the computer to a LAN port on the D-Link. Connect the modem and the rout
er to a power outlet.
Basic Configuration
Step 1
Navigate to the address "http://192.168.0.1" or "http://dlinkrouter" in a Web br
owser to access the setup wizard.
Step 2
Choose your connection type from the options. Most Ethernet connections use DHCP
. Click "Connect."
Step 3
Enter the username and password for your Internet service into the appropriate f
ields or fill in the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway Address and Primary DNS Se
rver fields, if applicable.
Step 4
Click "Connect" to set up the network on the D-Link.
Advanced Settings
Step 1
Choose "Configure" from under Wireless Settings. Click "Wireless Connection Setu
p Wizard." Click "Next."
Step 2
Enter a name for the network into the Wireless Network Name (SSID) field and the
n choose "Automatically Assign a Network Key" from the options.
Step 3
Select "Use WPA Encryption Instead of WEP," for the best security, and then clic
k "Next." Write down the security password shown on-screen and store the passwor
d in a secure location.
Step 4
Click "Save" to finish configuring the router. After the router automatically re

boots, disconnect the router's Ethernet connection from the computer if desired.
Tips
You need to obtain information about your Internet's connection type, accoun
t credentials and static IP configuration from your Internet service provider.
If devices within range are unable to access the Internet after connecting t
o the network, confirm that the modem is connected to a coaxial cable and that t
he cable is connected to a working outlet.
Configuration steps may vary depending on the model and age of the router. O
n some models, for example, you may need to click "Next" to move from screen to
screen when using the initial setup wizard.
Warnings
Failing to secure a wireless network may allow others to access the network
without permission.
