Section 1 - Product Overview
• Faster Wireless Networking - The DIR-615 provides a wireless connection at up to 300Mbps* with other 802.11n
wireless clients. This capability allows users to participate in real-time activities online, such as video streaming,
online gaming, and VOIP calling.
• Compatible with 802.11g Devices - The DIR-615 is still fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11g standard, so it
can connect with existing 802.11g PCI, USB and cardbus adapters.
• Advanced Firewall Features - The web-based user interface displays a number of advanced network
management features including which help to protect your network from unauthorized access and malicious
attacks.
• Content Filtering - Easily applied content and access filtering based on MAC address, URL, and/or domain name.
Features
• Filter Scheduling - Set your own schedules, allowing you to control when your filters and access controls are
activated.
• Secure Multiple/Concurrent Sessions - The DIR-615 can pass through VPN sessions. It supports multiple and
concurrent IPSec and PPTP sessions, so users behind the DIR-615 can securely access corporate networks.
• User-friendly Setup Wizard - The easy-to-use web-based user interface includes a setup wizard which will walk
you through the steps to set up your wireless router, access the Internet, and enable wireless security.
* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g and 802.11n specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and
environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, may lower actual data throughput rate.
Environmental conditions may adversely affect 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 an attic or garage.
Before you Begin
• Please configure 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 off 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 from the included CD, make sure the computer you are running the CD from
is connected to the Internet, 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. However, keep in mind 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 usage area. You can optimize wireless range and signal strength
by following these basic guidelines:
Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the router and other network devices to a minimum - each
wall or ceiling can reduce your network’s range by up to 30 meters (98 feet). Position your devices so that
the number of walls or ceilings in the signal’s path is minimized.
Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 0.5 meters thick (1.5 feet) appears to
be almost 1 meter (3 feet) thick at a 45-degree angle. At a 2-degree angle it appears over 14 meters (42
feet) thick! Position devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an
angle) for better reception.
Building materials make a difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a detrimental effect
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
(fish tanks), mirrors, file cabinets, brick, and concrete can degrade your wireless signal.
Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate
RF noise.
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 is 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 off on your modem. If there is no on/off 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 Internet port on the router.
4. Plug the Ethernet cable that came with your router 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. Plug the power adapter to the router and connect to a power outlet. Wait about 30 seconds for the router
to boot.
7. Turn on your computer.
8. Verify the link lights on the router. The power light, Internet light, and the LAN light (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. Skip to “Configuration” on page 10 to configure your router.

Section 2 - Installation
Getting Started
The DIR-615 includes a Quick Router Setup Wizard CD. Follow the simple steps below to run the setup wizard to guide you
quickly through the installation process. Insert the wizard CD in the CD-ROM drive. The step-by-step instructions that follow
are shown in Windows® XP. The steps and screens are similar for the other Windows operating systems.
If the CD autorun function does not automatically start on your computer, go to Start > Run. In the run box type
“D:\DWizard.exe” (where D: represents the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive).You can also use your operating system’s file
explorer to navigate to your CD drive and locate the “DWizard” file.
When the screen below appears, click Start.
Note: It is recommended that you make a record of your SSID and security key, and login password, on the provided CD
holder.

DHCP Server Settings
The DIR-615 has a built-in Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) server. The DHCP server will automatically assign an IP
address to the computers on the LAN/private network. Be sure to set your computers to be DHCP clients by setting their TCP/
IP settings to “Obtain an IP Address Automatically.” When you turn your computers on, they will automatically load the TCP/IP
settings provided by the DIR-615. The DHCP server will automatically allocate an unused IP address from the IP address pool
to the requesting computer. You must specify the starting and ending address of the IP address pool.
