D-Link DI-614+ [10/74] Getting started

4. Getting Started

For the price of a single IP Address from your Broadband Internet Service

provider you can share the Internet with all the computers on your local

network, without sacrificing speed or security, using D-Link AirPlus

networking products.

IP ADDRESS

The Infrastructure Network example shown on the following page contains

the following D-Link network devices:

A wireless Broadband Router - D-Link AirPlus DI-614+

A laptop computer with a wireless adapter - D-Link AirPlus DWL-650+

A desktop computer with a wireless adapter - D-Link AirPlus DWL-520+

A Cable modem - D-Link DCM-200

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.

It is a protocol for assigning dynamic IP addresses “automatically.”

With a DHCP-capable gateway/router, there is

no need to manually assign an IP address.

Please note: If you have a DHCP-capable router, such as the

D-Link DI-614+, there is no need to assign an IP Address.

If you need to assign IP Addresses to the computers on the

network, please remember that the IP Address for each

computer must be in the same IP Address range as all the

computers in the network, and the Subnet mask must be exactly

the same for all the computers in the network.

For example: If the first computer is assigned an IP Address o

192.168.0.2 with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0, then the second

computer can be assigned an IP Address of 192.168.0.3 with a

Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0, etc.

IMPORTANT: If computers or other devices are assigned the

same IP Address, one or more of the devices may not be

visible on the network.

Right out of the box, with its default settings, the DI-614+ will

automatically connect with other D-Link Air or AirPlus products.
