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.

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.

LAN DHCP Server Settings
DHCP Server Settings
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) allows the gateway to automatically
obtain the IP address from a DHCP server on the service provider’s network. The
service provider assigns a global IP address from a pool of addresses available to the
service provider. T ypically the IP address assigned has a long lease time, so it will likely
be the same address each time the Router requests an IP address. If DHCP is not
enabled on the Router, it is necessary for the user to assign a static IP address to each
computer on your LAN.
To set up DHCP for your LAN, first enable the Router as a DHCP server by clicking the
Enable DHCP Server radio button in the window above. The next step is to set a range
of IP addresses that you wish to allot to the devices on your LAN by entering a starting
and ending number of addresses within the LAN subnet in the DHCP IP Address Range. This may be in a range from 2 to 254 (192.168.0.2 – 192.168.0.254).
Computers on your LAN will have an IP address within this range then automatically
assigned to them. Finally, choose the DHCP Lease Time, which is the time the Server
will set for devices using DHCP to re-request an IP Address. Clients authorized for
DHCP will be listed in the Dynamic DHCP Client List near the bottom of the window.
Click Save Settings to implement information set in this table. The DHCP Server is
enabled by default. DHCP may also be statically configured as well. This method allows
the router to assign the same IP address information to a specific computer on the
network, defined by its MAC address. This computer will get the same DHCP
implemented IP address information every time the computer is turned on and this IP
address will be specific to that computer’s IP address on the local network. No other
computer can be assigned this address. This is useful for computers on the LAN that
are hosting applications such as HTTP or FTP. First, the user must enter the Host Name and the IP Address for that computer in the spaces provided. Next, the user
must enter the MAC Address of the computer in the space provided. Click Save Settings to implement these static settings.

Access Control
Access Control, or MAC filtering, is a basic security measure that
should be used on any network that is exposed to a security risk. A
packet filter system examines data packets and scrutinizes them in
order to control network access. Filtering rules determine whether
packets are passed through the Router from either side of the
gateway. The rules are created and controlled by the network
administrator and can be precisely defined. These rules are used to
block access to the LAN from outside the network and/or to deny
access to the WAN from within the network.

connections between two machines, thereby preventing access to a service, attempts to
prevent a particular individual from accessing a service, or, attempts to disrupt service to a
specific system or person. To enable this function, tick the Enable DoS Prevention

firewall rules will be displayed in the Firewall Rules List at the bottom of the window.
Internal Attack Prevention
This is used for ARP attacks. The router will drop ARP inquiry packets when it detects an
extraordinarily high volume of ARP requests.
DMZ Host
Firewalls may conflict with certain interactive applications such as video conferencing or
playing Internet video games. For these applications, a firewall bypass can be set up using
a DMZ IP address. The DMZ IP address is a “visible” address and does not benefit from the
full protection of the firewall function. Therefore it is advisable that other security
precautions be enabled to protect the other computers and devices on the LAN. It may be
wise to use isolate the device with the DMZ IP address from the rest of the LAN.
For example, if you want to use video conferencing and still use a firewall, you can place
the server in the DMZ. The IP address of this server will then be the DMZ IP address. You
can designate the server’s IP address as the DMZ by typing in the IP address in the DMZ IP Address space provided and then enabling its status by ticking the Enable DMZ Host
checkbox. Click the Save Settings button at the top of the window when you are finished.
