Hello sir,
GETTING STARTED
How to Physically Connect the D-Link
1. Plug an Ethernet cable into the DSL modem. Plug the other end of
the cable into the "WAN" port on the D-Link.
2. Using an Ethernet cable, plug any wired computers into any of the 4
Ethernet ports on the D-Link.
How to Access the D-Link Configuration Screen
The D-Link is configured using a Web browser. After you have connected
your computer to the D-Link router, follow these steps:
1. Launch your Web browser. Enter "http://192.168.0.1" into
the address bar and press the "Enter" or "Return"
key.
2. A logon pop-up screen will appear. Type "admin" for the username
and leave the password field blank.
3. Click "OK". A D-Link configuration screen will appear. All
changes to the D-Link configuration are made here.
GENERAL SECURITY MEASURES
Change the Admin password
Leaving the password blank is not a good idea. It should be changed to
something more secure. To change the password, go to the D-Link configuration
screen and:
1. Click the "Tools" tab.
2. Click the "Admin" button.
3. Under the "Administrator" heading, enter the new password,
and a second time to confirm.
4. Click "Apply".
5. The next time you access the D-Link configuration screen, you will
need to enter the new Admin password.
Disable the Wireless LAN
If wireless access is not necessary, you should disable the wireless part
of the D-Link. This will prevent anyone from accessing the network wirelessly.
(If you are using the wireless features, please skip down to "Wireless
Security Measures".) From the D-Link configuration screen:
1. Click the "Home" tab.
2. Click the "Wireless" button.
3. Click the "Disabled" button next to "Wireless Radio".
4. Click "Apply".
5. You are done securing your wired network. No further action is required.
WIRELESS SECURITY MEASURES
Enable WEP
Enabling WEP* (Wired Equivalent Privacy) will require anyone wishing to
access the Internet through your wireless network to enter a password.
After the correct password is entered, a connection is established, and
all data sent from the D-Link to the computer and back is encrypted. From
the D-Link configuration screen:
1. Click the "Home" tab.
2. Click the "Wireless" button.
3. Click the "Open System" button next to "Authentication".
4. Set the "WEP Encryption" to "128 bit".
5. Set the "Key Type" to "ASCII".
6. Type a 13 digit password into "Key 1".
7. Click "Apply".
8. When you connect to your wireless network from a computer, you will
need to enter the 13 digit password.
*Note: If your computer's operating system supports it, enabling WPA-PSK
is more secure than WEP. The steps above can be modified to set up WPA-PSK.
Change the SSID
By default, the D-Link is set to advertise the existence of your wireless
network to computers. It does this by broadcasting an SSID (Service Set
Identifier), also called a "network name" because it identifies
your wireless network. Changing the SSID makes it easier for you to distinguish
your network from surrounding networks. From the D-Link configuration
screen:
1. Click the "Home" tab.
2. Click the "Wireless" button.
3. Change the "SSID" from "default" to an SSID of
your choice.
4. Click "Apply".
