D-Link DIR-600 and SmartBro Router Setup
Setting up D-Link DIR-600 wireless router and SmartBro canopy
1. Connect the SmartBro UTP (unshielded twisted pair) cable to the D-Link DIR-600 router’s WAN/Internet port.
2. Connect your PC to one of the available LAN ports of the D-Link DIR-600 wireless router, use the network cable that comes with router package.
3. In your favorite browser, type in the router’s ip address (default is 192.168.0.1) e.g http://192.168.0.1 and hit enter.
4. Enter your username and password when asked. By default, username is “admin” without password.
5. We are going to setup the router manually so click on “Manual Internet Connection Setup” button.
6. On the “Internet Connection Type” section, select Dynamic IP (DHCP)
7. Enter your desired router’s hostname, default is DIR-600 (you can leave this as is)
8. Enter the primary and seconday dns to use, SmartBro’s dns servers are not reliable so I suggest you use google’s public dns servers for both primary and seconday dns, 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
9. Click on the “Clone Your PC’s MAC Address” button. Your PC’s MAC address should reflect in the MAC address box. If not, then check that your PC is properly connected to your router and insert in one of designated LAN ports, and that your utp cable is good.
10. Click on “Save Settings” button.
9. Reboot the D-Link DIR-600 wireless router, and when it has fully initialized, open your browser and access a desired website.

Hello! I tried your instructions on DIR600 and smartbro setup. However, its still the same. When I directly connect smart to desktop, connection is perfect. But when I connect to router, there is no more internet. Sometimes it connect, but mostly no connection. It tries to identify but doesnt push through. I called SmartBro but they are not willing to help and just tell me to contact my personal technician who I dont have. Do you have other way to fix it? Thank you!

When device1 trying/successfully connected to wi-fi (internet), the internet connection of device2 will drop. And vice versa. In short, the D-Link router (DIR-600) is not allowing my devices to connect to the internet at the same time (e.g. PC, Tab, smartphone). >.
