Before diving into the configuration, it is important to understand how D-Link handles network expansion.

Log into your main router’s admin page, look at the "Connected Devices" or "DHCP Client List," and find the new IP address assigned to the D-Link DIR-850L. Use that new IP address in your browser. 3. Frequent Disconnections

When acting as a repeater, the DIR-850L typically receives an IP address from your main router's DHCP server. However, you can usually log back into the device using the original IP address ( 192.168.0.1 ) by disconnecting from the main network and connecting directly to the repeater's LAN port or Wi-Fi. If you forget the address, look at your main router's DHCP client list to find the DIR-850L's assigned IP.

To transform the DIR-850L into a wireless repeater, follow these steps:

Select a password for your new extended network (this can be the same as your original router for seamless roaming). Click or Finish . 6. Reboot and Placement The router will now reboot and apply the changes.
