Configuration
This section will show you how to set up and configure your new D-Link router using the Web-based configuration utility.
Web-based Configuration Utility
Connect to the Router
To configure the WAN connection used by the router it is first necessary to communicate with the router through its management interface, which is
HTML-based and can be accessed using a web browser. The easiest way to make sure your computer has the correct IP settings is to configure it
to use the DHCP server in the router. The next section describes how to change the IP configuration for a computer running a Windows operating
system to be a DHCP client.
To access the configuration utility, open a web-browser such as Internet
Explorer and enter the IP address of the router (192.168.0.1).
Type “admin” for the User Name in the entry field. If this is the first time
configuring the router, leave the Password field blank, there is no default
password.
If you get a Page Cannot be Displayed error, please refer to the
Troubleshooting section for assistance.

DHCP (Dynamic IP Address) - For Dynamic IP Address connections,
you may want to copy the MAC address of your Ethernet adapter to the
router. Some ISPs use the unique MAC address of your computer’s
Ethernet adapter for identification and for IP address assignment (DHCP)
when you first access their network. This can prevent the router (which
has a different MAC address) from being allowed access to the ISP’s
network (and the Internet). To clone the MAC address of your computer’s
Ethernet adapter, click the Clone MAC Address button. Click Next to
continue.
Username/Password (PPPoE) - For PPPoE connections, select the
Address Mode Dynamic IP or Static IP, type in the Username and
Password used to identify and verify your account to the ISP. Retype the
password again and if necessary, type a Service Name or domain name.
For Static IP address mode, type the IP Address assigned to your

PPPoE
PPP or Point-to-Point protocol is a standard method of establishing a network connection/session between networked devices. Different forms of
PPP include PPPoA and PPPoE (discussed below) involve an authentication process that requires a username and password to gain access to the
network. PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet), as described in RFC 2516, is a method of using PPP through the Ethernet network.
To configure a PPPoE Internet connection, follow these steps:
1. Select the PPPoE (Username / Password) option from
the My Internet Connection is: pull-down menu.
2. Choose the IP address assignment option (Dynamic
PpoE or Static PPPoE). Static IP address assignement
requires manual entry of IP settings information.
3. Under the PPPoE heading, type the User Name and
Password used for your account. A typical User Name
will be in the form user1234@isp.co.ru. The Password may
be assigned to you by your ISP or you may have selected
it when you set up the account with your ISP. Type the
password again in Confirm Password.
4. For Static PPPoE connections, enter IP settings provided
by the ISP and, if necessary enter MAC address (see
table below)
5. Leave the MTU value at the default setting (default =
1492) unless you have specific reasons to change this
(see table below for more information).
6. Choose the desired Connection Setting. Select from:
Always ON, Connection On Demand, or Manual. Most
users will want to choose the default connection setting,
Always ON.

Some of the settings do not need to be changed the first time the device is set up, but can be changed later if you choose. The information that is to
be provided in this window must be given to you by your ISP and must be carefully configured. Any small discrepancy will send the wrong message
to your ISP’s server and inhibit your connection.
There are two ways to configure the PPoE connection on the router, one is for a Dynamic PPPoE configuration, which means the router will
implement some settings automatically through DHCP, such as the router’s IP address and the default gateway. The other is through a Static
PPPoE connection, in which the user must configure the IP address and the DNS addresses automatically.
PPPoE Description
User Name The user name supplied to you by your ISP.
Password The password supplied to you by your ISP.
Retype Password Retype the password entered in the Password feld.
Service Name Enter the service name supplied to you by your ISP, if required.
IP Address Enter the IP address given to you by your ISP. This field is only to be completed if the Static PPPoE button is selected.
MAC Address This field will instruct the user to enter the Media Access Control (MAC) address of the Ethernet Card of your computer, if instructed
to do so by your ISP. To quickly accomplish this, click the Clone MAC address button, which will automatically copy the MAC address
of your Ethernet card and enter it into the space provided, which will replace the MAC address of the router.
Primary DNS Address This entry is for the IP address of your primary domain name server, which should also be provided to you by your ISP. The router
will first try the Primary DNS Address to resolve a website’s URL IP address. If this IP address fails, the router will then try the
Secondary DNS Address. This field is only to be completed if the Static PPPoE button is selected.
Secondary DNS
Address The IP address of the secondary domain name server will be used to resolve a website’s URL IP address if the Primary DNS Address
fails. The information in this field should also be provided by your ISP and is only to be completed if the Static PPPoE button is
selected.
Maximum Idle Time A value of 0 means that the PPP connection will remain connected. If your network account is billed according to the amount of time
the Router is actually connected to the Internet, enter an appropriate Idle Time value (in seconds). This will disconnect the Router
after the WAN connection has been idle for the amount of time specified. The default value = 5.
MTU This field refers to the Maximum Transfer Unit, which is the maximum size of a packet, in bytes, that will be accepted by the router.
The default setting is 1492 bytes. This field should not be altered unless instructed by your ISP.
Connect Mode Select This function, with Connect-on-demand selected, will allow the router to connect any workstation on your LAN to the Internet upon
request. If this function is set at Always-on, no request from the workstation will be needed to connect to the Internet. If Manual
is selected, it will be necessary for the workstation on the LAN to manually connect to the Internet through this router.

PPTP
The Point to Point Tunneling Protocol is used to transfer information
securely between VPNs (Virtual Private Routers). Encryption methods
are employed in the transfer of information between you and your ISP
using a key encryption. This option is specific for European users where
ISPs support the PPTP protocol for the uplink connection. To connect to
your ISP’s server using this protocol, the information in this window
must be provided to you by your ISP and then properly implemented.
There are two ways to enable the router to become a PPTP client, one
is through assigning the router an IP address dynamically, which means
that the DHCP protocol will be implemented by the Router to
automatically configure the IP settings. The user may input the IP
settings manually by choosing the Static IP option above the configuring
area. To configure the router to be a PPTP client, complete the entry
fields and click the Save Settings button.
