Introduction
The D-Link DI-804V Broadband VPN Router enables your network to
connect to the Internet via a secure, private connection using a Cable/DSL
modem, such as the D-Link DCM-200 Cable Modem. The Virtual Private
Network that is created on the Internet between your home and your office
(with a VPN server) is secure from interference when you use the DI-804V.
It is an ideal way to connect your computer to a Local Area Network (LAN).
After completing the steps outlined in the Quick Install Guide (included in
your package) you will have the ability to share information and resources,
such as files and printers, and take full advantage of a “connected”
environment for work or play!
Connect the WAN port on the DI-804V to the Cable/DSL modem (e.g., the
DCM-200) using an Ethernet cable. Your entire LAN can now access the
Internet using just one Internet account. The DI-804V has 4 LAN ports.
That means that 4 computers can share the benefits of the DI-804V- equipped
network.
For the price of one Internet account, the DHCP-capable DI-804V will
automatically provide unique IP Addresses for all the computers on the
network. (DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It is a
protocol for assigning IP Addresses automatically. With a DHCP router like
the DI-804V, there is no need to assign static IP Addresses, or purchase
multiple addresses from the ISP - Internet Service Provider.)
Everyone in your home can access the Internet on his or her own computer, at
the same time, without any noticeable decrease in speed.
With the serial port, you can connect an analog modem (dial-up modem) as a
back up in case of any difficulties that may arise with the Cable or DSL
connection.
With Firewall Protection, Hacker attack logging, and Virtual Private
Networking, the DI-804V provides a level of security suitable for many
businesses.

settings and the values from your ISP.
The information offered by your ISP:
• Dynamic IP settings
• Your fixed IP address for the gateway
• Your subnet mask for the gateway
• Your default gateway IP address
• Your DNS IP address
If you would like to use PPPoE, you will need the following values from your
ISP in order to install your router:
• User Name
• Password
The static IP settings for the PC:
• Your PC’s fixed IP address
• Your PC’s subnet mask
• Your PC’s default gateway
• Your PC’s primary DNS IP address
Note: The router’s default IP address setting is 192.168.0.1.
Dynamic IP Settings:

settings as automatically assigned. By default, the gateway is a DHCP server, and it
will give your computer the necessary IP settings.

Launch your web browser and type the device IP address (http:// 192.168.0.1)
in the browser’s address box. This IP address is the default value of your
gateway. Press Enter.
Note: Please make sure that the computer’s IP Address is in the same IP
Address range as the DI-804V. The IP Address of the DI-804V is
192.168.0.1. All computers on your network must be within that range, for
instance, the computer IP Address could be 192.168.0.x. All computers on
the network must have the same subnet mask.
