JustGav Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 You will need to setup the router with your username and password.. It should get an ip address... then configure the router.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSZ Posted September 30, 2006 Author Share Posted September 30, 2006 Any ideas (in very simple terms please) how I do that? I am a bit of a numpty when it comes to this sort of thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Okay... Most routers use a web interface... So you will need to open a dos box... on windows click start -> run and in the box type -> command Once the dos box comes up, type ipconfig You should see an ip address along the lines of 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x where x is a number between 1 and 255.. Just below that there will be a gateway IP... open a webbrowser and go to that ip address ie http://192.168.1.254 From there, there should be a setup system.

dangerous brain Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 It should come with a disc that should have the internet explorer page to access the router on it. You will also need to plug it into the router initially with a network lead. If you don't have a disc try http://192.168.1.1 as is a d-link which is linksys isn't it gav? http://compnetworking.about.com/od/workingwithipaddresses/f/getrouteripaddr.htm http://tech.yahoo.com/gd/pc-wireless-networking-connect-and-configure-a-wireless-router/166365 MAybe some of that will help.

Not sure DB, not used d-link stuff before.. used netgear and linksys(cisco) and they are CD based as well... guess d-link would be the same.

michael Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 The quick start guide shoud take you through the basic setup but initially its often better to connect with a cable. http://192.168.0.1/main/flashLogin.html Username: admin Password: admin (reset to defaults for you, PLEASE change this to something else) Then enter the connection info that your ISP will have supplied, failing that can you grab the details from their website or the existing modem?
