Before you Start

Users with DSL providers – If you are using a PPPoE connection, you will need your PPPoE user name and password. If you do not have this information, contact your Internet provider. Do not proceed until you have this information.
Users with Cable providers – Make sure you unplug the power to your modem. In some cases, you may need to turn it off for up to 5 minutes.
Advanced Users – If your Internet Service Provider (ISP) provided you with a modem/router combo, you will need to set it to “bridge” mode so the DIR-819 router can work properly. Please contact your ISP or refer to the user manual for your modem/router device.

Connect your Router

Unplug the power to your DSL or Cable modem.
Connect an Ethernet cable from the Internet port of the router to the Ethernet port on your DSL or Cable modem.
Connect another Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port on your computer to one of the LAN ports on the router. You can also connect wirelessly to the router with your computer. Use the supplied Wi-Fi Configuration Card for the Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and Wi-Fi password of the router. Complete steps 4 and 5 before attempting to connect.
Plug the power back into your DSL or cable modem. Please wait about one minute before continuing.
Plug the power adapter into your router and connect to an available power outlet or surge protector. If the Power LED does not light up, press the Power button on the back of the router.
You can now connect devices to your router using the Wi-Fi Name (SSID) and Password found on the D-Link Wi-Fi Configuration Card or sticker on your router.

If your devices do not connect to the Internet, follow the steps in the Configuration section below.
To customize your router’s settings (Wi-Fi Name and Password), continue on to the Configuration section below

Configuration (Optional)

Open a web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, or Safari) and enter http://dlinkrouter.local./ or the IP address of the router
( http://192.168.0.1 ).
When the Welcome screen appears, click Next to continue.
The router will automatically detect your Internet connection type. If not, then select your Internet connection and click Next to continue.
DSL (PPPoE) users enter their PPPoE username and password supplied by their ISP. Click Next to continue.
If you have a Static IP connection, enter the IP information and DNS settings supplied by your ISP. Click Next to continue.
For both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, create a name and password for your Wi-Fi Network. Your wireless devices (i.e., tablets, smartphones, and laptops) will need to have this information entered to be able to connect to your wireless network. Click Next to continue.
Continue with the Setup Wizard to finish configuring your DIR-819 router. Once completed your router will be online.
