ok guys, so today i bought the DLINK DIR300 (wireless router) having 4port+wifi connectivity..

now im having trouble configuring it, as i already have DLINK ADSL Router (DSL 502T) with wich my MTNL Triband (broadband) is provided.. now plz tell me how to set this DIR300

this is wat i did:

1.) Installed the DLink LAN card onto the pci slot of my mobo, installed the drivers.
2.) ALso installed the DLINK Wireless router DIR-300 along with its drivers.
(both were easily detected by my OS: Win XP PRO+SP3)

----------------------------------------------------------------------

3.) Now, the ADSL (telephone) line (from MTNL triband) wich is coming from the splitter is going at the back of the DLINK ROUTER DSL 502-T (this is my existing wired router)

4.) One RJ45 cable is goin from the "ETHERNET" jack (from the back) of DSL 502T (my existing wired router) to the "INTERNET" jack (at the back) of DIR-300 (my new wireless router)

5.) Another RJ45 cable from the "LAN" port jack of DIR-300 (wireless router) is goin into my D-Link LAN card of my PC.

<<--RJ45 cable from LAN card of PC-->>........going to......... <<--LAN port of DLINK Wireless Router (DIR 300)-->>..........now........ <<-- RJ45 cable from "INTERNET" port of DIR-300 -->> ........going to........ <<--"ETHERNET" port of my exisiting DLINK Wired Router (DSL 502-T)-->> .......now........ <<-- ADSL wire (telephone line) from "ADSL" port of DLINK Wired Router (DSL 502 T) -->>........going to........ <<-- Splitter -->>

================================================== ======

Now, the address of my existing wired router... DLINK DSL 502T are as follows:

a.) IP Address: 192.1xx.1.1XX
b.) Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
================================================== ============

and the address of my new wireless router...DLINK DIR-300 are:

c.) IP Address: 192.1xx.1.1XY
d.) Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
--------------

But, still i cant connect to the net (after ofcourse) enabling both the routers i knw im either wrong in the physical connection part or in the address part, so plz help me
--------------------

I bought this new wireless router to basically connect my 2 PC's in LAN but jus now for the sake of it, jus testing the wireless router (DIR-300) as well as the wired router (DSL 502 T) only on ONE PC
--------------Plz Note: My existing Router (b4 buying this new D link Wireless Router DIR-300 and D link LAN Card) was connected to my PC via USB connection...


Cheers n e-peace.....

@ashu888ashu888 : You dont need so much stuff to be done IMHO.

1. You connected the hardware in right fashion As far as i can see
2. Pop in the Dlink Install CD. It should have easy install GUIDE or something to get you ready with self troubleshoot. I am not sure but this is case mostly
3. There should be some way to access ROUTER settings for WEP etc. Like in Netgear : you login via www.routerlogin.com

Thanx for ur reply Sukhdeep

I jus forgot to "Configure the Wireless Router" by goin to 192.168.0.1 and was able to setup a connection using DHCP (Dynamic IP) method,

but the problem i sumtimes get is that, a connection is lost b/w my Wired (DSL 502-T) and my wireless router (DIR-300) I dont knw how or y, maybe a faulty DSL 502-T ... but can there be any other reasons.. ??
