You give us no useful information about your existing infrastructure; so it
is impossible to tell what you need/want to change or replace. If you have
an existing wired router or modem/router combo device and you simply want to
add the DLink device to provide wireless access:
1. Connect a computer by ethernet cable to the DLink and access its web
page.
2. Assign the router a IP which is compitable with but does not duplicate
the IP addresses on your existing network; disable its DHCP function; and
configure wireless access as desired. How you do this is product dependent
and you will have to consult the manual/CD that came with the device. Or -
you can download a manual at the DLink web site.
3. Use an ethernet cable to connect a LAN port on the DLink to a LAN port
on your existing device. Do not connect anything to the DLink's
Internet/WAN port.
Instead, if you have a separate modem and router, you should be able to
simply swap the DLink for your existing router. However, you would still
have to configure wireless access per the manual.
