D-Link DIR-601 User Manual
Section 2 - Installation
If you are connecting the D-Link router to another router to use as a wireless access point and/or switch, you will have to do the following before
connecting the router to your network:
• Disable UPnP™
• Disable DHCP
• Change the LAN IP address to an available address on your network. The LAN ports on the router cannot accept a DHCP address
from your other router.
To connect to another router, please follow the steps below:
1. Plug the power into the router. Connect one of your computers to the router (LAN port) using an Ethernet cable. Make sure your IP address on
the computer is 192.168.0.xxx (where xxx is between 2 and 254). Please see the
Networking Basics
section for more information. If you need
to change the settings, write down your existing settings before making any changes. In most cases, your computer should be set to receive an
IP address automatically in which case you will not have to do anything to your computer.
2. Open a web browser and enter
http://192.168.0.1
and press
Enter
. When the login window appears, set the user name to
Admin
and leave
the password box empty. Click
Log In
to continue.
3. Click on
Advanced
and then click
Advanced Network
. Uncheck the Enable UPnP checkbox. Click
Save Settings
to continue.
4. Click
Setup
and then click
Network Settings
. Uncheck the Enable DHCP Server server checkbox. Click
Save Settings
to continue.
5. Under Router Settings, enter an available IP address and the subnet mask of your network. Click
Save Settings
to save your settings. Use this
new IP address to access the configuration utility of the router in the future. Close the browser and change your computer’s IP settings back to
the original values as in Step 1.
6. Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the router and reconnect your computer to your network.
7. Connect an Ethernet cable in one of the LAN ports of the router and connect it to your other router. Do not plug anything into the Internet port
of the D-Link router.
