across the Internet.
* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11n and 802.11g specications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors,
including volume of network trac, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental conditions will adversely
aect wireless signal range.
3D-Link DIR-505 User Manual
Section 1 - Product Overview
• Faster Wireless Networking - The DIR-505 provides an up to 150 Mbps* wireless connection with other 802.11n

management features including:
• Content Filtering - Easily applied content ltering based on MAC address and website address.
• Filter Scheduling - These lters can be scheduled to be active on certain days or for a duration of
hours or minutes.
Features
• Secure Multiple/Concurrent Sessions - The DIR-505 can pass through VPN sessions. It supports
multiple and concurrent IPSec and PPTP sessions, so users behind the DIR-505 can securely access
corporate networks.
• User-friendly Setup Wizard - Through its easy-to-use Web-based user interface, the DIR-505 lets you control what
information is accessible to those on the wireless network, whether from the Internet or from your company’s
server. Congure your router to your specic settings within minutes.

Access Point Mode
In Access Point Mode, the DIR-505 connects your wireless devices together, but does not provide routing functionality. It also
allows a connected wired device to connect to your other devices wirelessly. This can be useful if you already have an existing
Internet router that does not have built-in wireless capabilities. You can also use this to create a private wireless network
without Internet access so that your devices can securely connect to one another without being exposed to the Internet or
other computers.

In Repeater Mode, the DIR-505 extends the range of an existing wireless network. You can use this to extend the coverage of
an existing wireless router to provide better signal for parts of your home or oce that may have poor reception. Additionally,
you can use this mode to connect a wired device to a wireless network, which can be useful for devices that do not have a
built-in wireless card, such as some smart TVs, game consoles, or DVRs.

Wi-Fi Hotspot Mode
In Wi-Fi Hotspot Mode, the DIR-505 connects to a wireless hotspot or existing wireless network and lets you share access to
that network with your devices. This mode is similar to Router mode, but instead of connecting to a cable or DSL modem as
your Internet source, the DIR-505 connects to a Wi-Fi hotspot and shares that connection with your devices. This can be useful
in places such as a hotel, airport, or café to use a single connection to a hotspot to provide an Internet connection for all your
devices. Additionally, it can provide an added layer of security when connecting to public hotspots by hiding your computers
and devices from other devices on the network, and keeping them in your own private network. You can also share les with
other computers or devices on your wireless network by using the SharePort Mobile feature.

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 dierence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative eect 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 (sh tanks), mirrors, le
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.

Setting Up Your DIR-505
1. Move the switch on the top of the DIR-505 to the mode you

turned green before continuing.
If you are using Router/AP Mode:
Move the switch on the top of the DIR-505 to Router/AP and
plug it into a wall outlet near your cable/DSL modem or router.
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port
of your cable/DSL modem or router and then plug the other
end of the cable into the Ethernet port of the DIR-505. Verify
that the power LED has turned green before continuing.
