D-Link DIR-615 User Manual

Section  - 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 19.168.0.xxx (where xxx is between  and 54). 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.

. 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.
