D-link routers are known for being easy to configure. Even if you have never used or configured a router before, the process of the D-link wireless router installation is going to be fairly simple for you. 

Here is a list of all the things included in the box:
1. Router
2. Power Adapter
3. LAN/Ethernet Cable
4. WiFi Configuration card
5. User Manual and Warranty card

For those who are using a PPPoE protocol, it is necessary to keep the login credentials provided by the ISP ready. Contact your ISP for more details about the login credentials. This is a mandatory step and you can not click on the D-link wireless router installation process before ensuring that the credentials are available.

Once you are ready to start the D-link wireless router installation process, plug in one side of the Ethernet cable provided in the box to your internet port present on your PC/Laptop and the other side into one of the four ports provided behind the router. There will be two, four, or more similar ports depending on the model of your router. You can connect your router to as many devices as the number of ports present on your router. Entry-level routers come with two ports while mid-range routers come with four or more ports.

The next step in the D-link wireless router installation process is to plug in the ethernet cable provided by your ISP to your D-link wireless router. Make sure you plug it into the ethernet port that is colored (yellow typically). This is the port through which the D-link wireless router can access the internet.
