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.

Remember or write down the new password for the administrator account. In case of losing
the new password, you can access the settings of the router only after restoring the factory
default settings via the hardware RESET button. This procedure wipes out all settings that
you have configured for your router.
When the web-based interface is accessed the next time and after, the login page opens. Enter the
username (admin) in the Login field and the password you specified in the Password field, then
