Yes, you are right. It is a Modem/Router and it says at the back as under:
Features:1Eth+1USB;ADSL2+Router.
As advised in EZLAN.NET page, I had already tried to set up the Wireless
Router as an Access Point and occasionally it worked. I understood the First
& Second Step but perhaps, I did not understand the Steps correctly! Under
First Step it says to "change the IP Address of the Router (D-Link) so that
it's in the same subnet as the main Router (Black Box) the one that is
connected to the Internet Modem. So, I opened the D-Link's Configuration
Utility by entering
http://192.168.0.1 and changed it to 192.168.2.1 - the
same as that of the main Router and also unchecked UPnP and DHCP Server.
So, where have I gone wrong?!
Thanks again
