This section will walk you through the installation process. Placement of the router is very important. Do not place the 
router in an enclosed area such as a closet, cabinet, or in the attic or garage.

the Ethernet port on your modem. If you were using the USB connection before using the router, then you must turn off 
your modem, disconnect the USB cable and connect an Ethernet cable to the Internet port on the router, and then turn 
the modem back on. In some cases, you may need to call your ISP to change connection types (USB to Ethernet). 
If you have DSL and are connecting via PPPoE, make sure you disable or uninstall any PPPoE software such as 
WinPoet, Broadjump, or Enternet 300 from your computer or you will not be able to connect to the Internet.

Wireless Installation Considerations
The D-Link wireless router lets you access your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within 
VJGQRGTCVKPI TCPIG QH [QWT YKTGNGUU PGVYQTM -GGR KP OKPF JQYGXGT VJCVVJGPWODGT VJKEMPGUU CPF NQECVKQP QH
walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary 
depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key 
to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:
-GGR VJG PWODGT QH YCNNU CPF EGKNKPIU DGVYGGP VJG &.KPM TQWVGT CPF QVJGT PGVYQTM FGXKEGU VQ C
minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position 
your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5 meters), at a  
45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet 
(14 meters) thick! Position devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead 
of at an angle) for better reception.
3. Building Materials make a difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative effect on 
range. Try to position access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through 
drywall or open doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water

generate RF noise.
5. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as ceiling fans, lights, and 
home security systems), your wireless connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make 
sure your 2.4GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits 
a signal even if the phone in not in use.

Enable the Wi-Fi Protected Setup feature. 
Locking the wireless security settings prevents 
the settings from being changed by the Wi-Fi 
Protected Setup feature of the router. Devices 
can still be added to the network using Wi-Fi 
Protected Setup. However, the settings of the 
network will not change once this option is 
checked.
A PIN is a unique number that can be used 
to add the router to an existing network or to 
create a new network. The default PIN may be 
printed on the bottom of the router. For extra 
security, a new PIN can be generated. You can 
restore the default PIN at any time. Only the 
Administrator (“admin” account) can change or 
reset the PIN. 
Shows the current value of the router’s PIN. 
Creates a random number that is a valid PIN. 
This becomes the router’s PIN. You can then 
use this PIN when creating a connection using 
the WPS-PIN method.
