Step 3: Configure the router

Using the PC connected to the router, launch your browser. In the URL address field, enter the router-configuration IP address provided in the documentation--192.168.0.1 for the D-Link DI-624. You'll also need to enter the configuration-utility ID (usually admin) and the default password.

Next, enter the information you collected in step 1 as instructed in your router's installation guide. If you jotted down an IP address in step 1, set the router to use a static IP address and enter the address and other information. If you're a DSL user, you'll likely need to choose a PPPoE Internet-connection type, then enter the username and password you selected to log on to your ISP.

Leave other settings such as encryption and SSID at their defaults for now, exit your router's configuration routine, and check your Internet connection. If you still can't access any Web sites, check your router's documentation for troubleshooting advice and call the manufacturer for technical support, if necessary.
