Before You Begin
1. If you purchased this router to share your high-speed Internet connection with other
computers, you must have either an Ethernet-based Cable or DSL modem with an
established Internet account from an Internet Service Provider (ISP).
2. It’s best to use the same computer that is connected to your modem for confi guring
the DI-624 Multimode Wireless Router. The DI-624 acts as a DHCP server and will
assign all the necessary IP address information on your network. See Appendix at
the end of this Quick Installation Guide or the Manual on the
CD-ROM for setting each network adapter to automatically obtain an IP address.

A. First, connect the power adapter to the receptor at the back panel of the
DI-624 and then plug the other end of the power adapter to a wall outlet or power
strip. The Power LED will turn ON to indicate proper operation.
B. 1. Power off your Cable or DSL modem; some devices may not have a on/off
switch and will require you to unplug the power adapter. Now, the DI-624 should
be powered on and the Cable / DSL modem should be turned off.
2. Cable / DSL modem (Power Off) – DI-624 (Power On)
Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet jack located on the Cable / DSL
modem. After the Ethernet cable is securely connected, power on the Cable /
DSL modem by turning on the unit or plugging in the power adapter.
3. Cable / DSL modem (Power On) – DI-624 (Power On)
Insert the other end of the Ethernet cable to the WAN PORT on the back panel
of the DI-624. The WAN LED light will illuminate to indicate proper connection. If
the WAN LED is not illuminated, please go back to step B1 and repeat the
instructions.
C. Insert an Ethernet cable to LAN port 1 on the back panel of the DI-624 and an
available Ethernet port on the network adapter in the computer you will use to
configure the DI-624. The LED light for LAN Port 1 will illuminate to indicate
proper connection. (Note: The LAN Ports on the DI-624 are Auto-MDI/MDIX.
Meaning you can use a straight-through or crossover Ethernet cable to the LAN
Ports.)
