D-Link N300 Noob question

[Adeptus]

I recently bought a D-Link N300.

My old Telkom modem was singing like a jet and thought it good to replace it.

I am struggling to set the new modem up. The CD-setup keeps crashing and I cannot 10.0.0.2 connect to the router to set it up manually.

My old Belkin Telkom modem still works.

Any advice?

Try 192.168.0.1 instead of 10.0.0.2.

Try 192.168.0.1 instead of 10.0.0.2.

I think my D-Link was 192.168.1.1 .....

Open command prompt, type "ipconfig" and look for your default gateway(assuming you're already connected to it).

Hi There,
D-Link site indicates 192.168.1.1 for the router so try that.

The default gateway is still 10.0.0.2 according to ipconfig.

I already tried 192.168.1.1... no luck.

The thing that worries me is that I do not see the other computers on the network when the D-Link is plugged in.

My old Belkin still acts as a router even when the internet is disconnected.

Thus the D-Link has no network visibility whatsoever.

Should I send it back? Or am I just stupid?

Hi There,
maybe take it back and tell them you can't get it working and ask them to try and connect. It may be faulty
