D-Link: Setting up a router - instructions

Before you can go online, you must set up your D-Link router correctly. In this guide, we show you exactly how to proceed.

D-Link: How to set up your router correctly

First, connect the router to the mains. Then do the following:

1. Then connect the blue cable to the "Internet" port on the router, the other end to the "Internet" port on your modem.
2. For the first setup, we recommend that you connect the PC to the D-Link router via LAN.
3. Wait for the router and modem to start up completely and open your internet browser. Enter "192.168.0.1." on.
4. Enter "admin" as the user name and leave the password field blank. Then click on "Login" to be able to set up the router.
5. The setup wizard will guide you through the process. First select "Internet" and then type in the access data you received from the provider.
6. The next step is the security settings of the WLAN. You can specify a name and a password for the network here. Save with "Connect".
7. If all data is correct, the router will be ready in a short time and you can start surfing.
8. For security, you should set the admin password for the router under "Tools"> "Admin".
