CHAPTER 2. OVERVIEW
General Information
The DIR-615S device is a wireless router with a built-in 4-port switch. It provides a fast and simple way to create a wireless and wired network at home or in an office.
You are able to connect the wireless router DIR-615S to a cable or DSL modem or to a private Ethernet line and use a high-speed Internet connection to successfully fulfill a wide range of professional tasks. The built-in 4-port switch enables you to connect Ethernet-enabled computers, game consoles, and other devices to your network.
Using the DIR-615S device, you are able to quickly create a wireless network at home or in your office, which lets your relatives or employees connect to your wireless network virtually anywhere (within the operational range of your wireless network). The router can operate as a base station for connecting wireless devices of the standards 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n (at the rate up to 300Mbps).
The router supports multiple functions for the wireless interface: several security standards (WEP, WPA/WPA2), MAC address filtering, WPS, WMM.
In addition, the device is equipped with a button for switching the Wi-Fi network off/on. If needed, for example, when you leave home, you can easily switch the router’s WLAN by pressing the button, and devices connected to the LAN ports of the router will stay online.
The wireless router DIR-615S includes a built-in firewall. The advanced security functions minimize threats of hacker attacks, prevent unwanted intrusions to your network, and block access to unwanted websites for users of your LAN.
You can configure the settings of the wireless router DIR-615S via the user-friendly web-based interface (the interface is available in several languages).
Now you can simply update the firmware: the router itself finds approved firmware on D-Link update server and notifies when ready to install it.
