Configuring the Router
1. Setup a private network with the VPN router: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions included with the router to
connect computers and other network devices to the router.
a. The manufacturer’s instructions can be found on the CD included with the VPN router. Insert the CD into
your PC and select “View Manual”. Follow the instructions under “Section 1: Product Overview” and
“Section 2: Installation” of the manual.
b. Access the router’s internal configuration pages. To access these pages, open a web-browser and enter
the IP address of the D-Link VPN router (192.168.0.1).
c. Enter admin as the User name. Leave the password field blank.
2. Verify the VPN router has the latest firmware: Once logged into the router’s configuration pages, ensure that
the Firmware Version is version 1.12 or higher (D-Link DIR-330) or 1.23 or higher (D-Link DIR-130). If it is lower,
upgrade the firmware by following the manufacturer’s instructions before proceeding. The current firmware
version information can be found in the top right-hand corner of any router configuration page.

3. Configure the VPN router for remote access: Changes need to be made to the router’s default configuration in
order to setup the router for remote access. Each change is listed below.
Note: Make sure to press the Save Settings button at the top of every configuration screen when indicated in the
following steps. Otherwise the changes that have been made will not be saved. After pressing the Save Settings
button, it may take a few moments until the Continue button is enabled to click.
a. Configure the VPN router’s local network settings:
Note: The default LAN IP address is set to 192.168.0.1. If a VPN client’s local network uses IP
addresses in the same range as the VPN router’s network (192.168.0.XXX), an address conflict may
occur and the connection between the VPN client and the VPN router will not operate properly. To
reduce the possibility of address conflicts, Lutron recommends changing the default (VPN) LAN IP
address to something less likely used as default addresses on other local networks. In this example, we
will use 192.168.100.1 as the (VPN) LAN IP address.
i. Select the Setup tab from the top menu, and then select Network Settings from the left menu.
ii. Modify the network address as shown in
Figure2.
