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 dierence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative eect 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.

Section 4 - Security

Wireless Security

This section will show you the dierent levels of security you can use to protect your data from intruders. The

DIR-505L oers the following types of security:

• WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) • WPA2-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)

• WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) • WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)

• WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve the security features of WEP (Wired Equivalent

Privacy).

The 2 major improvements over WEP:

• Improved data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP scrambles the keys using a hashing algorithm and, by adding an integrity-checking feature, ensures that the keys haven’t been tampered

with. WPA2 is based on 802.11i and uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) instead of TKIP.

• User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, through the extensible authentication protocol (EAP). WEP

regulates access to a wireless network based on a computer’s hardware-specic MAC address, which is relatively

simple to be snied out and stolen. EAP is built on a more secure public-key encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network.

WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK uses a passphrase or key to authenticate your wireless connection. The key is an alpha-numeric password

between 8 and 63 characters long. The password can include symbols (!?*&_) and spaces. This key must be the exact same key entered on your wireless router or access point.

WPA/WPA2 incorporates user authentication through the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). EAP is built on a more

secure public key encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network.

It is recommended to enable encryption on your wireless DIR-505L

Setup, then click Wireless Settings on the left side, and click on Manual Wireless Network Setup.

2. Next to Security Mode, select WPA-Personal.

3. Next to WPA Mode, select WPA only, WPA2 only or Auto (WPA or WPA2).

4. Next to Cipher Type, select TKIP, AES or TKIP and AES.

5. Next to Pre-Shared Key, enter a key. The key is entered as a passphrase in ASCII format at both ends of the wireless connection. The passphrase must be between 8-63 characters.

6. Click Save Settings at the top of the window to save your changes. If you are conguring the router with a wireless adapter, you will lose connectivity until you enable WPA-PSK on your adapter and

enter the same passphrase as you did on the DIR-505L.

Note: If this option is unchecked, the WPS button on the side of the router will be disabled.

Locking the WPS-PIN Method prevents the settings from being changed by any external registrar using its PIN. Devices can still be added to the wireless network using the Wi-Fi Protected Setup Push Button Configuration (WPS-PBC). It is still possible to change wireless networks settings with Manual Wireless Network Setup or Wireless Network Setu Wizard.

A PIN is a unique number that can be used to add

the router to an existing network or to create a new network. Only the Administrator (“admin” account) can change or reset the PIN.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a simplied method for securing your wireless network during the “Initial setup” as well as the “Add New Device” processes. The Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) has certied it across dierent products as well as manufactures. The process is just as easy as pressing a button for the Push-Button Method or correctly entering the 8-digit code for the Pin Code

Method. The time reduction in setup and ease of use are quite benecial, while the highest wireless security setting of WPA2

is automatically used.

This Wizard helps you add wireless devices to the wireless network.

The wizard will either display the wireless network settings to guide you through manual conguration, prompt you to enter the PIN for the device, or ask you to press the conguration button on the device. If the device supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup and has a conguration button, you can add it to the network by pressing the conguration button on the device and then the on the router within 120 seconds. The status LED on the router will ash three times if the device has been successfully added to the network.

There are several ways to add a wireless device to your network. A “registrar” controls access to the wireless network. A registrar only allows devices onto the wireless network if you have entered the PIN, or pressed a special Wi-Fi Protected Setup button on the device. The router acts as a registrar for the network, although other devices may act as a registrar as well.
