A few steps show you how to configure and install a D-link Wireless Router

When learning D-link wireless router settings, you will often encounter problems connecting other computers to the DI-524M, this section describes how to resolve the problem when configuring local connection to connect a PC to one of the LAN ports of the DI-524M through a network cable.

D-link wireless router settings

Step 1: connect DI-524M Wireless Broadband Router to your network

1. First insert the 12 v ac power adapter connector of the DI-524M into the power Jack of the rear panel of the DI-524M, the other end is connected to the power outlet. When Power is on, the Power indicator on the front panel is on. Wait until the DI-524M is started.
2. Connect the network line connecting to the DSL/Cable Modem to the wan end of the DI-524M, that is, the Internet port ).

4) wireless network indicator light: flickering from time to time;
5) LAN port indicator light: flashing to a computer from time to time)
4. Place the computer with the wireless Nic installed near the DI-524M, wireless network settings for the wireless nic and DI-524M, see the instructions in the following section.

D-link Wireless Router setup step 2: connect other computers to DI-524M

With other ethernet cables, connect other computers with Ethernet interfaces that require access through the DI-524M Wireless Broadband Router to the remaining three lanports on the rear panel of the DI-524M; you can also place a computer with a wireless Nic installed near a DI-524M to access the Internet through it. After connecting the router according to the two steps above, your current network architecture should be the way, or if you are a residential area to be wide, you may directly connect the network cable to the wan end of the DI-524M, instead of accessing the Modem, a wired PC is connected to one of the LAN ports of the DI-524M, and a wireless PC is connected to the DI-524M wirelessly through a wireless Nic connected to the computer.

D-link wireless router configuration Step 3: When configuring local connection configuration, please connect the PC to one of the LAN ports of the DI-524M through the network cable)

1. First, check the IP address of your computer's local connection.
1) on the desktop of your computer, right-click "Network neighbors" and select "properties ". The "network connection" window is displayed.

If Reply from 192.168.0.1: bytes = 32 time <1 ms TTL = 64 appears, it indicates that the computer has been connected to the DI-524M, you can perform the next step.
If the above information does not appear, you can check the cause through the common problems on the website. Because of our common problems, if you have not found this issue for the FAQ under the DI-524M product, you can refer to the related information in the DI-624 + A product FAQ ).

D-link wireless router settings Step 4: DI-524M Wireless Router Network Configuration

Open a browser. This document uses ie as an example. Enter 192.168.0.1 in the address bar of the browser and press Enter. If the browser is not connected to the Internet, you can open the router configuration interface as long as you use a network cable to connect one of your PC and the lanport of the router, or wirelessly connect to the router configuration interface, But When configuring the router, please use a wired connection to the DI-524M ). On the displayed page, enter admin as the user name. The password is blank by default. Then, click Login to enter the following configuration interface. From this interface, you can set the network connection of the vro in two ways: Use the Configuration Wizard, and use manual configuration. If you only need to configure the WAN port, use the settings wizard. The following describes how to use the Configuration Wizard. Click "Configuration Wizard" on the page shown in the Configuration Wizard to enter the network connection wizard window. After you click the network connection wizard, the network connection setting step is displayed. After learning about this step, you can click Next to set it. Click Next and set the password in the window below.

By default, the management password for entering the vro configuration interface is blank. To ensure the security of the device, you can set a password to prevent others from changing the configuration of your vro; please write down the configured login password, otherwise you may not be able to log on to the DI-524M setting interface in the future; if you forget the login password, you will reset the router, the specific method please refer to the corresponding instructions. After entering the password twice, click Next to set the time zone. You can also click Next without setting a password. If you are in China, select GMT + from the drop-down list and click Next to set the network connection. A total of three methods are available, including DHCP connection to dynamic IP addresses), user name/password connection to PPPoE), and fixed IP address connection. By default, it is a dynamic IP address connected by DHCP ).
If you are not sure which type you want to select, refer to the following types:
A. If your computer is directly connected to ADSL or Cable Modem, you do not need to make any connection settings to connect to the network, please select DHCP connection;
B. If your computer is connected to the ADSL Modem directly, you need to set the ADSL account/password, and you need to connect to the network before you can connect to the network, select PPPoE;
C. If your computer is directly connected to ADSL or Cable Modem, You need to specify another fixed IP address before connecting to the network, please select a fixed IP address.
D. You can also contact your network service provider ISP.
The following uses dynamic IP addresses, PPPoE, and static IP addresses as examples.
1) DHCP connection dynamic IP address)
Click DHCP connection in, and then click Next. You can choose whether to clone the MAC address of the PC to the vro or enter the host name. Click Next. The system prompts you that the network connection has been set up. Click Next to save the settings and restart the vro.
