Update:

Amanda tells me that Hughes has made some changes to the router from original manufactures default settings that was available via the pdf that I took the screenshots of.

We will hopefully soon have a correct copy of the manual.

Gwalk,

I can't post certain things that pertain to the setup because everything has already been setup and it won't give me some screens that look like they do in your pics.  The manual configuration screen is one of them.  When I set mine up, I followed the instructions in the booklet and chose the auto setup, then went back after everything was finished and changed the few settings, like the wireless settings (you'll see mine in the picture), that needed to be changed.  With that said, I have pics 1,2,4, 5 & 6, with 3 missing, as mentioned above.

I don't know how I would go about setting everything up again, as in wiping everything and going through the setup wizard again so I could post each screenshot.  But, like I was saying, the setup was VERY easy to do by following the instructions in the included booklet. 

Also, to get to the setup wizard and such, I used http://dlinkrouter.  The 192.168.0.1 address brings up the Hughesnet SCC. 

LAN IP Check... http://dlinkrouter

LAN IP Setup and DHCP Pages...

Manual configuration screenshot missing because I can't get to it without going through the setup process again. 

Device Administration...

Dynamic Setup Screen...

Wireless Security Screen Options... 

If this isn't what you need, let me know and I can see if I can figure out how to go through the setup process again to get the setup screenshots.  Again, though, the setup was pretty easy when following the instructions in the booklet, and the only thing I really had to change afterward was the wireless security settings (WPA2 and subsequent settings). 

Also, if you see anything in there that I should change, that would be appreciated, too.  LOL.  Thanks. 

Thanks Gabe,

I found out after posting that Hughes had made some changes.

Will be getting the updated info I hope.

You said you used the "wizard" and it was a   ... was real easy ?

Had to go back and tweak a few ? Recall what items the were ?

It was pretty easy.  I just followed the directions and it went without a hitch.  Again, though, the only thing I would recommend against is the instructions it gives in the end on how to sign up and download the mydlink program, which in my opinion is a waste of time.  It also lists in the booklet that if there are any questions or problems, they should be directed to D-Link, but this is incorrect, and they may have changed it for the newer booklet.  The place to get help for these routers is Hughesnet, not D-Link.   

The thing I had to tweak was changing the security settings to "WPA2 Only" and AES (it may have already been on AES, I can't remember for sure), but I did this at a later time by following advice one of you champs had given to someone else.  I can't remember if you can change it to "WPA2 Only" during the setup wizard, but if not, it's easily done afterward.  And the default setting is "WPA / WPA2", so it's not like it wouldn't be secure from the beginning, anyway.
