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 the attic or garage.
Before you Begin
Please read and make sure you understand all the prerequisites for proper installation of your new Router. Have all the necessary information and
equipment on hand before beginning the installation.
D-Link DSL-3580L Series User Manual 11
Section 2 - Installation
Installation Notes
In order to establish a connection to the Internet it will be necessary to provide information to the Router that will be stored in its memory. For some
users, only their account information (Username and Password) is required. For others, various parameters that control and define the Internet
connection will be required. You can print out the two pages below and use the tables to list this information. This way you have a hard copy of all
the information needed to setup the Router. If it is necessary to reconfigure the device, all the necessary information can be easily accessed. Be
sure to keep this information safe and private.
Low Pass Filters
Since ADSL and telephone services share the same copper wiring to carry their respective signals, a filtering mechanism may be necessary to
avoid mutual interference. A low pass filter device can be installed for each telephone that shares the line with the ADSL line. These filters are easy
to install passive devices that connect to the ADSL device and/or telephone using standard telephone cable. Ask your service provider for more
information about the use of low pass filters with your installation.
Operating Systems
The DSL-3580L uses an HTML-based web interface for setup and management. The web configuration manager may be accessed using any
operating system capable of running web browser software, including Windows 98 SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000, and Windows XP.
Web Browser
Any common web browser can be used to configure the Router using the web configuration management software. The program is designed to
work best with more recently released browsers such as Opera, Microsoft Internet Explorer® version 6.0, Netscape Navigator® version 6.2.3, or
later versions. The web browser must have JavaScript enabled. JavaScript is enabled by default on many browsers. Make sure JavaScript has not
been disabled by other software (such as virus protection or web user security packages) that may be running on your computer.
Ethernet Port (NIC Adapter)
Any computer that uses the Router must be able to connect to it through the Ethernet port on the Router. This connection is an Ethernet connection
and therefore requires that your computer be equipped with an Ethernet port as well. Most notebook computers are now sold with an Ethernet port
already installed. Likewise, most fully assembled desktop computers come with an Ethernet NIC adapter as standard equipment. If your computer
does not have an Ethernet port, you must install an Ethernet NIC adapter before you can use the Router. If you must install an adapter, follow the
installation instructions that come with the Ethernet NIC adapter.

Section 2 - Installation
802.11 Wireless LAN Configuration
All the 802.11 wireless LAN settings may be configured on a single page using the web-based manager. For basic wireless communication you
need to decide what channel to use and what SSID to assign. These two settings must be the same for any wireless workstations or other wireless
access point that communicate with the DSL-3580L through the wireless interface.
Security for wireless communication can be accomplished in a number of ways. DSL-3580L supports WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), WPA2, and
mixed WPA/WPA2. Wireless access can also be controlled by selecting MAC addresses that are allowed to associate with the device. Please read
the section on Wireless Configuration.
Additional Software
It may be necessary to install software on your computer that enables the computer to access the Internet. Additional software must be installed if
you are using the device a simple bridge. For a bridged connection, the information needed to make and maintain the Internet connection is stored
on another computer or gateway device, not in the Router itself.
If your ADSL service is delivered through a PPPoE or PPPoA connection, the information needed to establish and maintain the Internet connection
can be stored in the Router. In this case, it is not necessary to install software on your computer. It may however be necessary to change some
settings in the device, including account information used to identify and verify the connection.
All connections to the Internet require a unique global IP address. For bridged connections, the global IP settings must reside in a TCP/IP enabled
device on the LAN side of the bridge, such as a PC, a server, a gateway device such as a router or similar firewall hardware. The IP address can be
assigned in a number of ways. Your network service provider will give you instructions about any additional connection software or NIC
configuration that may be required.

Wireless Installation Considerations
DSL-3580L 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:
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.
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.
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.
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 2.4GHz 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.

Device Installation
DSL-3580L series Daul Band 802.11ac Wireless ADSL2+ Gigabit Ethernet Router maintains four separate interfaces, an Ethernet LAN, a wireless
LAN, an Ethernet WAN and an ADSL Internet (WAN) connection. Carefully consider the Router’s location suitable for connectivity for your Ethernet
and wireless devices. You must have a functioning broadband connection via a bridge device such as a Cable or ADSL modem in order to use the
Router’s WAN function.
Place the Router in a location where it can be connected to the various devices as well as to a power source. The Router should not be located
where it will be exposed to moisture, direct sunlight or excessive heat. Make sure the cables and power cord are placed safely out of the way so
they do not create a tripping hazard. As with any electrical appliance, observe common sense safety procedures.
The Router can be placed on a shelf, desktop, or other stable platform. If possible, you should be able to see the LED indicators on the front if you
need to view them for troubleshooting.
Power on Router
The Router must be used with the power adapter included with the device.
Insert the AC Power Adapter cord into the power receptacle located on the rear panel of the Router and plug the adapter into a suitable nearby
power source.
Push down the Power button, and you should see the Power LED indicator light up and remain lit.
If the Ethernet port is connected to a working device, check the Ethernet Link/Act LED indicators to make sure the connection is valid. The
Router will attempt to establish the ADSL connection, if the ADSL line is connected and the Router is properly configured this should light up
after several seconds. If this is the first time installing the device, some settings may need to be changed before the Router can establish a
connection.

To power off and power on again to make device boot-up in normal state
Remember that this will wipe out any settings stored in flash memory including user account information and LAN IP settings. The device settings
will be restored to the factory default IP address 192.168.1.1 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, the default management Username is “admin”
and the default Password is “admin.”
Network Connections
Connect to ADSL Line
Use the ADSL cable included with the Router to connect it to a telephone wall socket or receptacle. Plug one end of the cable into the ADSL port
(RJ-11 receptacle) on the rear panel of the Router and insert the other end into the RJ-11 wall socket. If you are using a low pass filter device, follow
the instructions included with the device or given to you by your service provider. The ADSL connection represents the WAN interface, the
connection to the Internet. It is the physical link to the service provider’s network backbone and ultimately to the Internet.
Connect Router to Ethernet
The Router may be connected to a single computer or Ethernet device through the 10BASE-TX Ethernet port on the rear panel. Any connection to
an Ethernet concentrating device such as a switch or hub must operate at a speed of 10/100/1000 Mbps only. When connecting the Router to any
Ethernet device that is capable of operating at speeds higher than 10Mbps, be sure that the device has auto-negotiation (NWay) enabled for the
connecting port. Use standard twisted-pair cable with RJ-45 connectors. The RJ-45 port on the Router is a crossed port (MDI-X). Follow standard
Ethernet guidelines when deciding what type of cable to use to make this connection. When connecting the Router directly to a PC or server use a
normal straight-through cable. You should use a crossed cable when connecting the Router to a normal (MDI-X) port on a switch or hub. Use a
normal straight-through cable when connecting it to an uplink (MDI-II) port on a hub or switch. The rules governing Ethernet cable lengths apply to
the LAN to Router connection. Be sure that the cable connecting the LAN to the Router does not exceed 100 meters.

Section 3 - Configuration
Configuration
This section will show you how to configure your new D-Link wireless router using the web-based configuration utility.
Web-based Configuration Utility
Connect to the Router
To configure the WAN connection used by the Router it is first necessary to communicate with the Router through its management interface, which
is HTML-based and can be accessed using a web browser. The easiest way to make sure your computer has the correct IP settings is to configure
it to use the DHCP server in the Router. The next section describes how to change the IP configuration for a computer running a Windows operating
system to be a DHCP client.
