How do I setup my Dlink router as a repeater?

Step 1: Open your Internet browser and enter http://dlinkrouter, http://dlinkrouter.local, or http://192.168.0.1 into the address bar. Step 2: The default username is Admin. Enter your administrator password. If you have not changed the default password, this field should be left blank.
