Section 1 - Product Overview

Introduction

TOTAL PERFORMANCE

Combines award winning router features and Draft 802.11n wireless technology to provide the best wireless performance

TOTAL SECURITY

The most complete set of security features including Active Firewall and WPA2 to protect your network against outside intruders

TOTAL COVERAGE

Provides greater wireless signal rates even at farther distances for best-in-class Whole Home Coverage.

ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE

The D-Link Xtreme N™ Gigabit Router (DIR-660) is a draft 802.11n compliant device that delivers real world performance of up to 14x faster than an 802.11g wireless connection (also faster than a 100Mbps wired Ethernet connection). Create a secure wireless network to share photos, ﬁles, music, video, printers, and network storage throughout your home. Connect the Xtreme N™ Gigabit Router to a cable or DSL modem and share your high-speed Internet access with everyone on the network. In addition, this Router includes a Quality of Service (QoS) engine that keeps digital phone calls (VoIP) and online gaming smooth and responsive, providing a better Internet experience.

EXTENDED WHOLE HOME COVERAGE

Powered by Xtreme N™ technology, this high performance router provides superior Whole Home Coverage while reducing dead spots. The Xtreme N™ Gigabit Router is designed for use in bigger homes and for users who demand higher performance networking. Add a Xtreme N™ notebook or desktop adapter and stay connected to your network from virtually anywhere in your home.

TOTAL NETWORK SECURITY

The Xtreme N™ Gigabit Router supports all of the latest wireless security features to prevent unauthorized access, be it from over the wireless network or from the Internet. Support for WPA and WEP standards ensure that you’ll be able to use the best possible encryption method, regardless of your client devices. In addition, this Xtreme N™ Gigabit Router utilizes dual active ﬁrewalls (SPI and NAT) to prevent potential attacks from across the Internet.

* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g and Draft 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, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental conditions will adversely affect wireless signal range.

6D-Link DIR-660 User Manual

Section 1 - Product Overview

• Faster Wireless Networking - The DIR-660 provides up to 300Mbps* 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. The performance of this 802.11n wireless router gives you the freedom of wireless networking at speeds 14x faster than 802.11g.

• Compatible with 802.11b and 802.11g Devices - The DIR-660 is still fully compatible with the IEEE

802.11b standard, so it can connect with existing 802.11b PCI, USB and Cardbus adapters.

• LCD Display - The LCD display screen provides information regarding the router.

• 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-660 can pass through VPN sessions. It supports multiple and concurrent IPSec and PPTP sessions, so users behind the DIR-660 can securely access corporate networks.

• User-friendly Setup Wizard - Through its easy-to-use Web-based user interface, the DIR-660 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 - Installation

Before you Begin

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.

Please conﬁgure the router with the computer that was last connected directly to your modem. Also, 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.

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 difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative 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 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 2.4GHz 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 2.4GHz 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.

The DIR-660 can be conﬁgured as a virtual server so that remote users accessing Web or FTP services via the public IP address can be automatically redirected to local servers in the LAN (Local Area Network).

The DIR-660 ﬁrewall feature ﬁlters out unrecognized packets to protect your LAN network so all computers networked with the DIR-660 are invisible to the outside world. If you wish, you can make some of the LAN computers accessible from the Internet by enabling Virtual Server. Depending on the requested service, the DIR-660 redirects the external service request to the appropriate server within the LAN network.

The DIR-660 is also capable of port-redirection meaning incoming trafﬁc to a particular port may be redirected to a different port on the server computer.

Each virtual service that is created will be listed at the bottom of the screen in the Virtual Servers List. There are pre-deﬁned virtual services already in the table. You may use them by enabling them and assigning the server IP to use that particular virtual service.
