How to Connect a Laptop
to a D-Link Router
Summery
Without a D-Link router, you would not be able to
create a wireless Internet connection within your
home. Your D-Link router can easily be connected to
your laptop, but for that you will need a cable or
DSL modem, which should be provided by your
Internet service provider. If the laptop is directly
connected to the router by an Ethernet cable, it will
be able to access the Internet via a "hard-wired"
connection. Moreover, the D-Link router will allow
other computers to connect to the Internet
wirelessly. You can use the following steps for
connecting a laptop to your router. If you will face
any difficulty while following these steps then dial
Dlink support phone number to get an online
assistance from our experts.
Step1
Connect the Ethernet cable that was
provided with your D-Link router to the
back of the D-Link Ethernet port labeled
"Internet" and connect the other end of
the Ethernet cable into the back of your
cable or DSL modem (also labeled
"Internet"). The Ethernet cable is slightly
larger than a telephone cord
Step2
Plug both your D-Link router and cable or
DSL modem into the wall outlet. Both
units will have a green indication light
letting you know it is powered on and
connecting to the Internet.
Step3
Obtain an additional Ethernet cable
(included with your cable modem and DLink router) and connect it into the port
labeled "LAN" on the back of the D-Link
router, (choose any of of the four ports
available). Plug the other end of the
Ethernet cable into the back of your
laptop's Ethernet port
Step4
Reboot your laptop. Open your web
browser, type "192.168.0.1" into the
address bar and press "Enter" on your
keyboard. An administration portal will
open to access your D-Link router. Type
"admin" for the username, leave the
password field blank and click "Login."
Step5
Change your D-Link router password when
prompted. Contact your Internet service
provider to determine if you are paying for
a static IP (Internet protocol) address or a
dynamic IP address. IP addresses identify
your specific computer and its connection
to the Internet. The IP can either remain
the same (static) or change each time you
access the Internet (dynamic).
Step6
Change the SSID (Service Set Identifier)
for your network (optional). An SSID
identifies the name of your wireless
network. Change the name to a unique
wireless network ("Joey's network,"
"Tony's garage"). D-Link will ask you to
reboot the router, which is done so
automatically through the administration
portal. Attempt to access the Internet on
your laptop.
