You shouldn't need to install anything off the CD. Simply plug your Macbook into the DIR-300 via ethernet (making sure you manually set your Macbook's IP to 192.168.0.x (where x is anything from 2-254). Then open up your web browser and type 192.168.0.1 into the address bar. This will log you into the DIR-300 (I think the default login is "admin" with no password).

Refer to the manual for the configuration for the rest of your setup.

Cannot connect my new Apple MacBook Pro to mt DIR 655. Are there specific drivers to install for the MacBook Pro?

No -there are no drivers to install. I would even suggest not to use any CD that came with the router (in your case the so-called "Quick Router Setup Wizard CD".
It is always better to configure the router by hand, otherwise you have to look forever if you have to troubleshoot.

If you connect your Mac to your DSL- or cable modem, can you access the internet?
If yes, then you have to configure your router. If not, then there is a problem with your internet connection in general and you have to contact your ISP.

Connect to your router (via cable) and check that the SSID is broadcasted and your wireless security is turned off, until you can connect wireless to your router. Look at the manual page 22 (if you don't have a manual, you can get it here.)
  • Enable Wireless: ON
  • SSID: whatever you like
  • 802.11 Mode: MIXED (unless your MAC is 802.11n capable - you can change that later)
  • Channel Width: AUTO
  • Visibility Status: VISIBLE
Then follow the Wireless Security Setup Wizard (ideally do it manually, but this works too). You find a description up from page 64 in your manual. For now, select no wireless security and complete the wizard. Don't forget to save your settings.

Now you should be able to connect to your routerwireless from your Mac.
After this is accomplished, go back to the wireless security setup and secure your network with WPA2 Authentication.

If you have any more questions or get stuck at one point, just come back here and leave a comment - I'm happy to help.

Lost installation cd for d link DIR 300 wireless G router

Most routers don't require discs and the disc usually contains mere documentation for configuration and help. Routers are usually plug-and-play type devices but if you're definitely wanting some type of program or information. You can visit the below link for your router.

http://www.dlink.com/products/support.asp?pid=474&sec=0#applications

You'll need to specify by clicking the "Click Here" based on the revision of your router (A, B, or D). Once you've selected a revision, you'll be able to download the application and firmware updates for your router.

MacBook not connecting to DIR-655 Router

Constantly drop off the Internet with my new Macbook

The problem which you describe could source from many different issues. I would suggest to first reset the router to the default settings (pushing the little button at the back side of the router) and set it again using the Dlink Wizard.

Router seems to drop connection frequently

What a static ip is, is the ip address that the router automatically assigns to other equipment. (computers, xbox, ect.) Find D-links customer support line for help.
