Set up your D-Link Cobra AC5300 router to enable DHCP mode, enhancing protection for devices connected with Trend Micro Home Network Security.

  3. Tap the Menu icon and select Settings.

  6. Note down your Router IP Address and Station IP Address, then click Next.
  7. On your computer or mobile device, open a web browser (Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Mozilla Firefox).
  8. Type the Router IP address you noted earlier into the address bar and press ENTER.
  9. Log in to the Admin console with your router's username and password.
  10. Navigate to the top menu, select Settings, then choose Network.
  11. Click on Advanced Settings and set the DHCP Server status to Disabled.
  12. Restart your router by following these steps:
    1. Disconnect the power cord from the router and ensure the front panel lights are off.
    2. Wait for one minute, then reconnect the power cord to the router.
  13. Reopen the Home Network Security app and check for the "Devices Protected" status.
