I unknowingly uninstalled the setup of d-link adsl2+ router and lost its cd...what to do???is there any way i can downloadd the settings???

In case you dont have the setup disk, you can access the router through web browser by typing the default IP address of your router in the address bar, which is 192.168.0.1. It is also written at the back of the router and unless you have changed it and you can access the router and reconfigure it from the web interface of the router. For the User Name and Password enter admin, which is default. For setting/ re-configuration, you can download the product manual from D-Link Official support for your router model.


Let me know if any further clarification/ assistance is required.
GoodLuck!

I lost my disk to install my router to my desktop pc. How can I get the router installed to my desktop again without the disk?

Are you trying to set up router ?
You can set up your router manually, without the CD.
Make sure that your computer is able to go online directly through the modem.
If your computer is able to go online through the modem, that means the modem is working fine.
You will need to connect the computer to the router and the modem to the router.
open the set up page of the router and change the settings of the router according to the ISP.

Lost setup disk for the router. Tried manual setup.

DSL's tend to have PPPoE signalling which means extra setup. Did you put your username and password in as assigned by the DSL provider?

I bought a wireless router wrt54g and I dont have the disk to install it so what can I do?

You won't need the disk.  You can plug your computer directly to the router.  From there it should receive an IP address.
Go to Internet Explorer>192.168.1.1>enter credentials, then you can setup your wireless settings.
Use window to manage your wireless services.

Lost disk

You'll need to connect your computer directly to the DSL or cable connection, then go to the Netgear website and download the software to install the router. Once downloaded, install the software and go from there :)

Lost intall disk

Well, i have set up several routers and they actually run better without the setup disk. as long as you know how to set it up, you it will work fine. (Setup disks tend to be over controlling of your network.)
To setup:
-Unplug your modem of all plugs.
-plug in your cable wire to the back of the modem.
-Plug in the ethernet wire from the modem to your router.
-Turn on the power(plug in) to your modem and give 2 mins.
Plug in ethernet cord from router to your computer.
-Plug in power to your router and give 30 seconds.
-power on your computer and give 1 min after start up.
-Make sure your internet is working and you are good 2 go.
