Connecting To Another Router - D-Link DIR-400 User Manual

Section  - Installation
If you are connecting the D-Link router to another router for 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 adapter 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.
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 OK 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 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.
