I typed the wrong model number for the Router I have a problem with. It is a DI-604 4 port wired router.

No, is the short answer. It only has the 4 ports which have to be wired with ethernet cables. So this Router is a wired router.

It means that the router is not configured yet. First, you have make sure that your internet wire is connected to the WAN port of your router and the computer should be connected to one of the LAN ports of your router.

Check the LEDs. Be sure that the LEDs for WAN and LAN where your computer is connected to is lit up or blinking (will depend on the brand and model number of the router).

Then you need to access the Web Utility of the router to set it up correctly. You need to refer to the manual of your router. Having a router does not mean that it will work immediately once you connect your internet or modem to it. It needs configuration.

You may also contact the tech support of your router (since the brand was not provided) for assistance

Thank you!

Hello Richard.

For this, you have two types of connection
1. LAN_LAN (ethernet to ethernet) -->wireless router is acting as a switch
2. LAN_WAN (ethernet to internet)-->wireless router is acting as a wireless router

in this case, you need the LAN_LAN connection

Physical connection:
plug an ethernet cable from the ethernet port on the wired router and connect the other end of that cabl to the ethernet port on the wireless router

Configuration:
log-on to the setup page of the wireless router, do this while the wired router is turned off.
-open your internet browser, type 192.168.0.1 on the address bar. Then type the username & password for the router ( default admin as the username, password : ).
Under the setup tab, click manual configuration. Then click network settings, change the router ip address to 192.168.0.5 & disable the DHCP server. save the settings. Just personalize the wireless network.

Hope this helps.

Before using these files, make sure you have the E Revision of that router, you can check by looking on the sticker that contains all the model information like serial, model number.

Be careful while doing a firmware upgrade, very easy to brick your router. Bricking refers to making the router no more useful than an expensive paper weight.

Hi There, what model of dlink router do you have?
Also, Or just check the ports you have in your router, the internet should be connected to the WAN port and the switch and/or computers to the LAN port(s).
If the router is new by default you should be able to access internet by plug everything the way I told you.
Also, by default the router ip address should be 192.168.1.1, type that into your web browser address bar, then you will have access to the router admin web page were you can see the status page, there will tell you if you have or not access to Internet really. Maybe the problem is that the router have no access internet access at all.

Try reseting the router. (insert a pin into the back hole and hold on few seconds)
Then try typing the default address

http://192.168.0.1

User= admin
Pass= (blank) no password

Try accesing the router thru another computer

Log into the router and go to the configuration page for your WAN port. Change the connection type to static ip.

From D-Link UK:

Your router is obviously a revison Fx.

Also from D-Link Russia:

ftp://ftp.dlink.ru/pub/Router/DI-604/Firmware/Rev.Fx.Ex/DualAccess/604_704P_707P_321RU.zip

Says it's for revision Fx and has a higher release number than the UK version.

You can use any wireless access point. If you would like to stay with Dlink, you could try the DWL-2100AP. You would just need to plug it in to an open port on your router.

The cable must be of parrallel type......(not cross)... connecting router and the modem or PC...
