D-Link router network setup...

I just moved back home and am trying to use my router to establish a network so I can use internet on my laptop. Can anyone give me a step by step guide on how to do this? I can't seem to get it to work... I'm not sure if i am even putting the cables in right... thanks

what port does the connecter cable go into and what port does the cable that would normally be in the modem go into... and do i have to do anything in windows xp(control panel) before i do the stuff on the d-link site... (that is going to http://192.168.0.1 etc...)

 

What country?
What DLink router model number?

 

canada....
DI - 524 H/X Version: EI

 

From the User's Manual:

 

I still cant get it to work... once i hook up the router... i cannot get an internet connection at all...

 

When you connect the modem directly to your computer, does it work?

 

yes... i am using the internet with it right now.... when i hook up the router to it too, it doesnt work...

 

you need to clone the MAC address of your computer. your ISP uses this to control access to a certain computer. so we need to "trick" the ISP into thinking that the router is your computer by its MAC address.

hook your computer to the router, go to the router's configuration pages... then on the "Home" tab, click the "WAN" button on the left, and look for a button that says "Clone MAC Address" click that, then hit apply.

Here's a link for the d-link website:

Good luck.

 

Try cloning your laptop's MAC address to the router's WAN port (Page 14 in the User's Manual). Power down the modem and the router. Connect the modem to the router. Power up the modem, wait 30 seconds, power up the router.

 

Unfortunately i do not have my user manual... i left it at the place i just moved from ... is it online anywhere?

 

Try to Google it.

 

Then download it from the link I provided on the first page of this thread.

 

its still not working... anymore suggestions?

 

Nope. That's it for me. Good luck.

 

Thanks so much for your help I really appreciate it.... I think I am going to have to buy a new router as it used to reset itself every few days when i had it set up before.... there seems to be some problem.... what brand would you recommend?

 

I need a cheap one... lol

 

I personally like Linksys equipment.

 

Thanks!!
