Router Set-Up and Installation

The following steps generally apply to any router that you have on your network. The D-Link DIR-655 is used as an
example to clarify the configuration process. Configure the initial settings of the DIR-655 by following the steps outlined
in the DIR-655 Quick Installation Guide.
3 Access the Router with Your Web Browser
If you have cable or DSL Internet service, you will most likely have a
dynamically assigned WAN IP Address. 'Dynamic' means that your router's
WAN IP address can change from time to time depending on your ISP. A
dynamic WAN IP Address identifies your router on the public network and
allows it to access the Internet. To find out what your router's WAN IP Address
is, go to the Status menu on your router and locate the WAN information for
your router (as shown on the next page). The WAN IP Address will be listed.
This will be the address that you will need to type in your Web browser to
view your camera over the Internet.
Your WAN IP Address will be listed on the router's
Status > Device Info page.
