Section 1 - Product Overview

About this Product

This user’s guide provides a wonderful insight into the functionality of the product called the D-Link DIR-645 Wireless Internet Router. This guide is based on the current running firmware/software version available for this product and might touch on some new and exciting topics never seen on this product line before providing a rewarding reading experience and in the end acts as a guide when installing and maintaining this product.

Features

The D-Link DIR-645 Wireless N Router with SmartBeamTM technology is packed with a load of features. Most of these features are what is expected from an Internet Wireless router, and then there are the features that are unique to D-Link products.

Compatible with 802.11g Devices - The DIR-645 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:

Content Filtering - Easily applied content filtering based on MAC Address, URL, and/or Domain Name.

Filter Scheduling - These filters can be scheduled to be active on certain days or for a duration of hours or minutes.

Secure Multiple/Concurrent Sessions - The DIR-645 can pass through VPN sessions. It supports multiple and concurrent IPSec and PPTP sessions, so users behind the DIR-655 can securely access corporate networks.

User-friendly Setup Wizard - Through its easy-to-use Web-based user interface, the DIR-645 lets you control what information is accessible to those on the wireless network, whether from the Internet or from your company’s server. Configure your router to your specific settings within minutes.

Section 2 - Hardware Installation

Hardware 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, attic or garage.

Before You Begin

The router is designed for use with the Ethernet port on your broadband modem. If you were using the USB connection before using the router, you must turn off your modem and disconnect the USB cable. Connect an Ethernet cable to the WAN/Internet port on the router, and then turn the modem back on. In some cases, you may need to call your ISP to change your connection type (USB to Ethernet).

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

When running the Setup Wizard from the D-Link CD, make sure your computer is connected to the Internet and is online, otherwise the wizard will not work. If you have disconnected any hardware, first re-connect your computer to the modem and make sure you are online.

Section 2 - Hardware Installation

Wireless Installation Considerations

The 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. Ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or office. The key to maximizing the 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 to 90 feet (1 to 30 meters.) Position your devices so that the number of walls and/or ceilings is minimized.

2.Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (0.5 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.Try to position access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through open doorways and drywall. Materials such as glass, metal, brick, insulation, concrete and water can affect wireless performance. Large objects such as fish tanks, mirrors, file cabinets, metal doors and aluminum studs may also have a negative effect on range.

4.Keep your product at least 3 to 6 feet (1-2 meters) away from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.

5.If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones, make sure that the 2.4GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless device as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone in not in use. In some cases, cordless phones, X-10 wireless devices, and electronic equipment such as ceiling fans, fluorescent lights, and home security systems may dramatically degrade wireless connectivity.

Section 2 - Hardware 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, 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 place it into the Internet port on the router.

4.Plug an Ethernet cable into one of the 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 into the router and connect to an outlet or power strip. Wait about 30 seconds for the router to boot up.

7.Turn on your computer.

8.Verify that the Power LED on the router are lit. If the Power LED does not light up, make sure your computer, modem, and router are powered, on and verify that the cables connected correctly.

9.In a later section in this manual we’ll discuss the Web GUI configuration of the router in more detail..
