Connect your laptop or PC into one of the blue ports and open a web page.

In the address bar you put 192.168.0.1 and press enter/return you will asked for a username which is admin and password which you leave blank and then you login.

You will be presented with a D Link page for the router.

On the left chose wireless setup then go to manual setup at the bottom.

Ignore the Pin section and go to the box with the SSID which by default will be dlink and change it to one of your choice.

Then choose your security option which should be the bottom one from the drop down WPA/WPA2 and the Network key box will appear and in here you put a password with a minimum length of 8 characters.

Then click save settings and wait for it to finish remove the ethernet cable and look for your newly named network and connect using your password.

You shoulod be connected and it should have taken between 5 and 10 minutes to achieve this and the disk will make a nice coaster.
Hi Moldova, seen as you know a thing or 2 about routers (amongst other things) can you offer any advice on setting up the router to enable the best (most stable connection) as I,m currently noticing poor voice chat communications whilst connected to my xbox.

Actual gaming seems pretty good, and Ive not messed around with any port forwarding, NAT, Upnp yet to see if it makes any difference.

Ive only just got this router (2 days ago) and know very little about them, but doing a little research last night suggests the MTU may be set to 1400 and not 1500, can this be a contributor.

I apologise to the OP for butting in, but seen as the issues relate to the same router I thought it was better this way.

any advice would be greatly appreciated.
