Section 2 - Installation Installation This section will walk you through the installation process. Placement of the router is very important. Do not place the router in an enclosed area such as a closet, cabinet, or in the attic or garage. Before you Begin • Please configure the router with the computer that was last connected directly to your modem. • You can only use the Ethernet port on your modem.
Section 2 - Installation Wireless Installation Considerations The D-Link wireless router lets you access your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network. Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range.
Section 2 - Installation Hardware Installation - For Router Mode Start Here Windows users can use the Quick Router Setup Wizard (from the CD) to configure their router. If you do not want to use the wizard, lost your CD, or are running Mac or Linux, you will need to use the manual setup procedure below. Quick Router Setup Wizard For the Wizard to work, the computer must be connected to the Internet and be online.
Section 2 - Installation Connect to Cable/DSL/Satellite Modem If you are connecting the router to a cable/DSL/satellite modem, please follow the steps below: 1. Place the router in an open and central location. Do not plug the power adapter into the router. 2. Unplug the Ethernet cable from the computer (or existing router if upgrading) that is connected to your modem. Then, plug it into the yellow port labeled INTERNET on the back of the D-Link Wireless N PowerLine Gigabit Router.
Section 2 - Installation Connect to Another Router If you are connecting the D-Link router to another router to use as a wireless access point and/or switch, you will have to do the following before connecting the router to your network: • Disable UPnP™ • Disable DHCP • Change the LAN IP address to an available address on your network. The LAN ports on the router cannot accept a DHCP address from your other router. To connect to another router, please follow the steps below: 1.
Section 2 - Installation 6. Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the router and reconnect your computer to your network. 7. Connect an Ethernet cable in one of the LAN ports of the router and connect it to your other router. Do not plug anything into the Internet (WAN) port of the D-Link router. 8. You may now use the other 2 LAN ports to connect other Ethernet devices and computers. To configure your wireless network, open a web browser and enter the IP address you assigned to the router.
Section 2 - Installation Hardware Installation - For Access Point Mode Step 1 Plug the DHP-1565 in the same room as your existing PowerLine Network in order to verify whether your home’s electrical wiring is suitable for the Powerline Network. Once configured you may place your DHP-1565 to the location of your choice. Step 2 Move the switch on the back of the DHP-1565 to “AP”.
Section 1 - Product Overview PowerLine Installation Considerations Plan the location of your PowerLine devices: 1. Connect the PowerLine devices to electrical outlets that are not controlled by a wall switch in order to avoid accidentally turning off the power to the device. 2. Do not connect the Wireless N PowerLine Gigabit Router to an extension cord, surge protector, or power strip. This might prevent the device from working correctly or it may reduce the network performance. 3.
Section 1 - Product Overview PowerLine Security It is strongly recommended to encrypt your PowerLine network. By encrypting the data that is sent via your PowerLine adapters, you will prevent nearby hackers with a Powerline adapter to connect to your network and steal your information. To encrypt your PowerLine network, follow the steps below: PowerLine Network-Quick Setup Encryption Button Usage The Simple Connect Button is used to add a PowerLine AV device to a PowerLine network.
Section 1 - Product Overview PowerLine Network Device Setup Note: A minimum of two PowerLine AV devices are required to create a network in order for your product to work properly. Step 1 Plug the other PowerLine AV devices in the same room to verify if your home’s electrical wiring is suitable for the PowerLine Network. Once configured you may place your PowerLine AV devices in the location of your choice. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on the PowerLine AV device.
Section 2 - Installation Getting Started The DHP-1565 includes a Quick Router Setup Wizard CD.

Section 6 - Troubleshooting Troubleshooting This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DHP-1565. Read the following descriptions if you are having problems. The examples below are illustrated in Windows® XP. If you have a different operating system, the screenshots on your computer will look similar to the following examples. 1. Why can’t I access the web-based configuration utility? When entering the IP address of the D-Link router (192.168.0.
Section 6 - Troubleshooting • Configure your Internet settings: • Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel. Double-click the Internet Options Icon. From the Security tab, click the button to restore the settings to their defaults. • Click the Connection tab and set the dial-up option to Never Dial a Connection. Click the LAN Settings button. Make sure nothing is checked. Click OK. • Go to the Advanced tab and click the button to restore these settings to their defaults. Click OK three times.
Section 6 - Troubleshooting 3. Why can’t I connect to certain sites or send and receive emails when connecting through my router? If you are having a problem sending or receiving e-mail, or connecting to secure sites such as eBay, banking sites, and Hotmail, we suggest lowering the MTU in increments of ten (Ex. 1492, 1482, 1472, etc). Note: AOL DSL+ users must use MTU of 1400. To find the proper MTU Size, you’ll have to do a special ping of the destination you’re trying to go to.
Section 6 - Troubleshooting 1452 was the proper value, the actual MTU size would be 1480, which is the optimum for the network we’re working with (1452+28=1480). Once you find your MTU, you can now configure your router with the proper MTU size. To change the MTU rate on your router follow the steps below: • Open your browser, enter the IP address of your router (192.168.0.1) and click OK. • Enter your username (admin) and password (blank by default).

People like the freedom of mobility and it’s becoming so popular that more and more public facilities now provide wireless access to attract people. The wireless connection in public places is usually called “hotspots”.
Appendix A - Wireless Basics Wireless Modes There are basically two modes of networking: • Infrastructure – All wireless clients will connect to an access point or wireless router. • Ad-Hoc – Directly connecting to another computer, for peer-to-peer communication, using wireless network adapters on each computer, such as two or more DHP-1565 wireless network Cardbus adapters. An Infrastructure network contains an Access Point or wireless router.
Appendix B - Networking Basics Networking Basics Check your IP address After you install your new D-Link adapter, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server (i.e. wireless router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below. Click on Start > Run. In the run box type cmd and click OK. (Windows® 7/Vista® users type cmd in the Start Search box.) At the prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter.
Appendix B - Networking Basics Statically Assign an IP address If you are not using a DHCP capable gateway/router, or you need to assign a static IP address, please follow the steps below: Step 1 Windows® 7 - Click on Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Change Adapter Settings. Windows Vista® - Click on Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Manage Network Connections.
