Install
the Router on one PC, Adapter on the 2nd PC
Sparing further
dialogue, here's a quick guide of the steps I took to fix my problem and get my
connection working. My upstairs computer, which is receiving a signal through
its adapter:
1. Installing the Router
Driver on your 1st PC: Don't install the D Link software. Instead, save its drivers to a
new folder on your desktop via the D Link support (you
can use the drivers included on the CD that came with the router, although the
version on D Link's website may be
newer).
If your router is not already installed,
connect it by following the included instruction booklet. When you reboot your
computer and it asks you if you'd like to install the driver, you'll have to
follow the options for "Install drivers manually" and/or "Have
disk" and point it to the driver folder you've downloaded to PC.
Your PC will then install the drivers for your router, and that portion of this guide is complete.

2. Installing the Adapter
Driver on your other PC:
Now, install your adapter in your second computer, which is going to receive
the signal from the router. Install the card as described in the instruction
manual, but do not install the D Link
software. Instead, once again, copy the drivers to your desktop.
Make sure you are using the right driver version for that particular card (for instance, be sure not to use a 4.1 driver for a 4.0 adapter card). The adapter should be on a label right on the card itself.

Reboot your computer after installing the
card. When Windows finds the hardware, go through the driver installation
process exactly as in step 1: choose "Install drivers manually"
and/or "Have disk", point it to the driver folder on your desktop, and
it will install your software.

Configuring the Router's Settings
Your router and
adapter should now be installed in their respective computers, with the most
recent drivers. Now, it's time to configure your router.
Go to the PC that has
the router connected to it, and open up your internet browser. Visit htD ://192.168.1.1/ - this will open up your router
configuration panel.
Follow the directions
below, ONLY looking at the sections I mention, and leaving everything else at
its default!
1. Set to "Automatic Configuration -
DHCP." Click the radio button next to "Enable DHCP server", and
make sure the "Maximum number of DHCP users" is set to a number that
represents the number of computers that will be getting internet access in your
home (for me, this number was set to 2).
2. "Wireless" Settings" Sub-Tab:
Wireless network mode should be set to "Mixed." "Wireless
Network Name" should be something you can remember - maybe your first name
and last initial...this is a very important part that you'll have to reference
later! Lastly, set "Wireless SSID Broadcast" to Enable.
3. : This part is entirely up to you. Personally,
I'm using "WEP" mode, because I have an iPod Touch which connects to
a wi-fi internet connection, and it only recognizes WEP at 128 Bits. There's
nothing wrong with using this, so try it out as you follow this tutorial - you
can always go back and change it to something else, like "WPA
Personal."
As for a passphrase, create a password -- this
is the 2nd most important thing you'll have to reference later on. Click
"Generate." The password will generate 4 "Keys", you'll
only need to look at "Key 1" later.
4. "Wireless" Tab/"Wireless MAC
Filter" Sub-Tab: Set "Wireless Mac Filter" to
"Enable." Under "Permit Only," choose "Permit only PCs
listed to access the wireless network" (this disallows your next door
neighbor from stealing your wireless cable connection!). Now, go to your 2nd
PC, with the adapter card in it. Click "Start" and "Run" in
MS Windows. Type CMD and hit Enter, which will bring up a DOS prompt. Type
ipconfig /all, and look for a MAC address (it will be called a "Physical
address" on the list, and will look something like
"01-A2-B3-E4-23-B5". Write this down.
Go back to the PC with the router connected to
it, which has the router configuration screen open. Make sure you're still on
the screen under the "Wireless" Tab/"Wireless MAC Filter"
tab, and click "Edit Mac Filter List". Type in the MAC
address/Physical address that you've written down from the other PC, just a few
seconds ago, anywhere on the pop up list (MAC 01 is fine). Make sure you use
the correct format with the colons, don't use dashes. In other words, it should
look something like 01:A2:B3:E4:23:B5 ...click "Save settings."
5. "Access Restrictions"
Tab/"Internet Access" Sub-Tab: Next to "Status", click
"Enable." Enter a policy name here - it's simply a user profile (for
instance, MySecondPC would be fine). Click "Allow" next to
"PCs." Make sure "Everyday" and "24 hours" are
also checked. Click "Save settings," then make sure
"MySecondPC" or whatever you chose for a Policy Name is listed in the
dropdown selection at the top of this screen, next to "Internet Access
Policy." Now, your 2nd PC has been given access to your router, while
everybody else in range is restricted, since they are not on the access
list
