Section 1 - Product Overview

• Faster Wireless Networking - The DIR-605L provides up to 300 Mbps* wireless connection with other 802.11n

wireless clients. This capability allows users to participate in real-time activities online, such as video streaming, online gaming, and real-time audio.

• Compatible with 802.11b and 802.11g Devices - The DIR-605L is fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11b and

IEEE 802.11g standards, so it can connect with existing 802.11b and 802.11g wireless adapters and devices.

• mydlink Cloud Service - The DIR-605L features a new mydlink cloud service that pushes information such as

rmware upgrade notications, user activity, and intrusion alerts, to the mydlink app on Android and iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices. You can monitor a user’s online activity with real-time web-browsing history, maintaining a safe and secure environment, especially for children at home. To ensure that your router is upto-date with the latest features, mydlink will also notify you when an update is available for your router.

• Easy Setup Wizard - Through its easy-to-use web-based user interface, the DIR-605L lets you control what

information is accessible to those on the wireless network, whether from the Internet or from your internal network. Simply congure your router to your specic settings within minutes.

Features

* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g and Draft 802.11n specications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network trac, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental conditions will adversely aect wireless signal range.

Section 2 - Installation

Installation

This section will walk you through the installation process. Placement of the router is very important. Do not place the router in an enclosed area such as a closet, cabinet, or in the attic or garage.

Before You Begin

• Please congure the router with the computer that was last connected directly to your modem.

• You can only use the Ethernet port on your modem. If you were using the USB connection before using the router, then you must turn o your modem, disconnect the USB cable and connect an Ethernet cable to the Internet port on the router, and then turn the modem back on. In some cases, you may need to call your ISP to change connection types (USB to Ethernet).

• If you have DSL and are connecting via PPPoE, make sure you disable or uninstall any PPPoE software such as WinPoET, BroadJump, or Enternet 300 from your computer or you will not be able to connect to the Internet.

• When running the Setup Wizard, make sure the computer is connected to the Internet and online or the wizard will not work. If you have disconnected any hardware, re-connect your computer back to the modem and make sure you are online.

Section 2 - Installation

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 2.4 GHz 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 2.4 GHz 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 2 - Installation

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 o on your modem. If there is no on/o 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 plug it into the

WAN port 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. Connect the power adapter to the router and plug it into an outlet or power strip. Wait about 30 seconds for the router

to boot.

7. Turn on your computer.

8. Verify the link lights on the router. The Power, Internet, and the LAN LEDs (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. Go to page 9 to congure your router.
