hello, here is what you need to do: if have a pc connected to high speed modem directly you will unplug the network cable from the back of your pc/laptop and that end will then go in to "WAN" port on the new dlink router.
second, you take another wire and plug one end in your pc/laptop and the other end in one of the 4 lan ports in the back of your new dlink.
restart everything in the following order at 30 seconds duration:- first the cable/DSl modem, then dlink, then your pc/laptop.
once everything is up open up internet browser and test connectivity.
at this point you should have internet up and running but you need to configure you router and wireless etc.
from your browser in address bar type in
http://192.168.0.1 and hit enter that will bring you router login prompt : default user name is "admin" and password is left blank and hit enter, you are now in router to configure options as you please.
I would strongly recommend changing your router password administration and if you plan on using wireless, setup SSID, encryption, network key on wireless. NEVER LEAVE IT OPEN.
Hope this helps
let me know if you have any questions
