• Content Filtering - Easily applied content filtering based on MAC Address, URL, and/or Domain Name.
• Filter Scheduling - These filters can be scheduled to be active on certain days or for a duration of hours or minutes.
• Secure Multiple/Concurrent Sessions - The DIR-320 can pass through VPN sessions. It supports multiple and concurrent IPSec
and PPTP sessions, so users behind the DIR-320 can securely access corporate networks.
• User-friendly Setup Wizard - Through its easy-to-use Web-based user interface, the DIR-320 lets you control what information is
accessible to those on the wireless network, whether from the Internet or from your company’s server. Configure your router to your specific
settings within minutes.
• Print Server – Built-in printer server ideal for network printer sharing. Connect printer directly to the router via USB port. The Print Server
Setup Wizard with automatic detection of most USB capable printer makes short work of printer setup for the network.
*Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network condition s and environmental factors,
including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental conditions will adversely
affect wireless signal range.

Section 2 – Installation
Installation
This section will walk you through the installation process. Placement of the Wireless Broadband Router is very important. Do not place the router in
an enclosed area such as a closet, cabinet, or in the attic or garage. Place the Wireless Broadband Router in a location where it can be easily
connected to Ethernet devices, the telephone line as well as to a power source.
Before You Begin
Please read and make sure you understand all the prerequisites for proper installation of your new router. Have all the necessary information and
equipment on hand before beginning the installation.
Operating Systems
The DIR-320 uses an HTML-based web interface for setup and management. The web configuration manager may be accessed using any
operating system capable of running web browser software, including Windows 98 SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows
Vista.
Web Browser
Any common web browser can be used to configure the router using the web configuration management software. The web browser must have
JavaScript enabled. JavaScript is enabled by default on many browsers. Make sure JavaScript has not been disabled by other software (such as
virus protection or web user security packages) that may be running on your computer.
Ethernet Port (NIC Adapter)
Any computer that uses the router must be able to connect to it through the Ethernet port on the router. Most notebook computers and fully
assembled desktop computers are now sold with an Ethernet port already installed. If your computer does not have an Ethernet port, you must
install an Ethernet NIC adapter before you can use the router.
Wireless LAN
Computers using the Wireless network can access the Internet or use the embedded 802.1g wireless access point. Wireless workstations must
have an 802.1g or 802.1b wireless network card installed to use the Wireless Broadband Router. In addition the workst ations must be configured to
operate on the same channel and SSID as the Wireless Broadband Router. If wireless security is used, the wireless workstations must be properly
configured for the security settings used.

Wireless Installation Considerations
The D-Link wireless router lets you access your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the operating range of your
wireless network. Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must
pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your
home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:
1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the D-Link router and other network devices to a minimum – each wall or ceiling can
reduce your adapter's range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3
feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick! Position devices so that the signal will travel straight
through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.
3. Building Materials make a difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative effect on range. Try to position access
points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways. Materials and objects such as glass,
steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (fish tanks), mirrors, file cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.
4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.
5.
If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as ceiling fans, lights, and home security systems), your
wireless connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless
devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone in not in use.

Connect to Cable/DSL/Satellite Modem
If you are connecting the router to a cable/DSL/satellite modem, please follow the steps below:
1. Place the router in an open and central location. Do not plug the power adapter into the router.
2. Turn the power off on your modem. If there is no on/off switch, then unplug the modem's power adapter. Shut down your computer.
3. Unplug the Ethernet cable (that connects your computer to your modem) from your computer and place it into the port labeled “Internet”
on the router.
4. Plug an Ethernet cable into one of the four LAN ports on the router. Plug the other end into the Ethernet port on your computer.
5. Turn on or plug in your modem. Wait for the modem to boot (about 30 seconds).
6. Plug the power adapter to the router and connect to an outlet or power strip. Wait about 30 seconds for the router to boot.
7. Turn on your computer.
8. Verify the link light s on the router. The power light, WAN light, and the LAN light (the port that your computer is plugged into) should be lit.
If not, make sure your computer, modem, and router are powered on and verify the cable connections are correct.
9. Use the instructions found in this manual to complete the configuration of the router.

Configuration
This section will show you how to set up and configure your new D-Link router using the Web-based configuration utility.
Web-based Configuration Utility
Connect to the Router
To configure the WAN connection used by the router it is first necessary to communicate with the router through its management interface, which is
HTML-based and can be accessed using a web browser. The easiest way to make sure your computer has the correct IP settings is to configure it
to use the DHCP server in the router. The next section describes how to change the IP configuration for a computer running a Windows operating
system to be a DHCP client.
To access the configuration utility, open a web-browser such as Internet
Explorer and enter the IP address of the router (192.168.0.1).
Type “admin” for the User Name in the entry field. If this is the first time
configuring the router, leave the Password field blank, there is no default
password.
If you get a Page Cannot be Displayed error, please refer to the
