Section 2 - Installation
Access Point Mode
In the Access Point mode, the DIR-505 acts as a central connection point for any computer (client) that has a 802.11n or
backward-compatible 802.11g wireless network interface and is within range of the AP. Clients must use the same SSID (wireless
network name) and channel as the AP in order to connect. If wireless security is enabled on the AP, the client will need to enter
a password to connect to the AP. In Access Point mode, multiple clients can connect to the AP at the same time.
8D-Link DIR-505 User Manual
Section 2 - Installation
Repeater Mode
In the Wireless Client mode, the DIR-505 acts as a wireless network adapter for your Ethernet-enabled device (such as a game
console or a TV set-top box). Connect your Ethernet-enabled device to the AP using an Ethernet cable. The AP Client mode
can support multiple wired clients.
If you are going to connect several Ethernet-enabled devices to your DIR-505, connect the LAN port of the DIR-505 to an
Ethernet switch, then connect your devices to this switch.
Example: Connect a gaming console using an ethernet cable to the DIR-505. The unit is set to Wireless Client mode which will
wirelessly connect to a wireless router on your network.
9D-Link DIR-505 User Manual
Section 2 - Installation
Hot Spot Mode
In Range Extender Mode, the DIR-505 increases the range of your wireless network by extending the wireless coverage of
another AP or wireless router. The APs and wireless router (if used) must be within range of each other. Make sure that all clients,
APs, and the wireless router all use the same SSID (wireless network name), channel, and security settings.

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 dierence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative eect 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 (sh tanks), mirrors, le
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.

Manual Setup
Important: for best results, insert the Installation CD and follow the on-screen instructions. If you are unable to use the CD or
are using Mac or Linux, please use the following installation steps:
1. Turn o and unplug your cable or DSL broadband modem. This is required.
2. Position your router close to your modem and a computer. Place the router in an open area of your intended
work area for better wireless coverage.
3. Unplug the Ethernet cable from your modem (or existing router if upgrading) that is connected to your computer.
Plug it into the blue port labeled 1 on the back of your router. The router is now connected to your computer.
12D-Link DIR-505 User Manual
Section 2 - Installation
4. Plug one end of the included blue Ethernet cable that came with your router into the yellow port labeled
INTERNET on the back of the router. Plug the other end of this cable into the Ethernet port on your modem.
5. Reconnect the power adapter to your cable or DSL broadband modem and wait for two minutes.
6. Connect the supplied power adapter into the power port on the back of the router and then plug it into a power
outlet or surge protector. Press the power button and verify that the power LED is lit. Allow 1 minute for the
router to boot up.
7. If you are connecting to a Broadband service that uses a dynamic connection (not PPPoE), you may be online
already. Try opening a web browser and enter a web site. If you connect, you are nished with your Internet setup.
Please skip to page 13 to congure your router and use the manual setup procedure to congure your network
and wireless settings. If you did not connect to the Internet, use the D-Link Setup Wizard (refer to page 15).
13D-Link DIR-505 User Manual
Section 2 - Installation
Connect to an Existing Router
Note: It is strongly recommended to replace your existing router with the DIR-505 instead of using both. If your modem is a combo
router, you may want to contact your ISP or manufacturer’s user guide to put the router into Bridge mode, which will ‘turn o’ the
router (NAT) functions.
If you are connecting the DIR-505 router to an existing router to use as a wireless access point and/or switch, you will have to
do the following to the DIR-505 before connecting it to your network:
• Disable UPnP
• Disable DHCP
• Change the LAN IP address to an available address on your network. The LAN ports on the router cannot accept
a DHCP address from your other router.
To connect to another router, please follow the steps below:
1. Plug the power into the router. Connect one of your computers to the router (LAN port) using an Ethernet cable. Make sure
your IP address on the computer is 192.168.0.xxx (where xxx is between 2 and 254). Please see the Networking Basics
section for more information. If you need to change the settings, write down your existing settings before making any
changes. In most cases, your computer should be set to receive an IP address automatically in which case you will not have
to do anything to your computer.
2. Open a web browser, enter http://192.168.0.1 and press Enter. When the login window appears, set the user name to
Admin and leave the password box empty. Click
3. Click on Advanced and then click Advanced Network. Uncheck the Enable UPnP checkbox. Click Save Settings to continue.
™
Log In to continue.
4. Click Setup and then click Network Settings. Uncheck the Enable DHCP Server checkbox. Click Save Settings to continue.

5. Under Router Settings, enter an available IP address and the subnet mask of your network. Click Save Settings to save your
settings. Use this new IP address to access the conguration utility of the router in the future. Close the browser and change
your computer’s IP settings back to the original values as in Step 1.
6. Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the router and reconnect your computer to your network.
7. Connect an Ethernet cable in one of the LAN ports of the router and connect it to your other router. Do not plug anything
into the Internet (WAN) port of the D-Link router.
8. You may now use the other 3 LAN ports to connect other Ethernet devices and computers. To congure your wireless network,
open a web browser and enter the IP address you assigned to the router. Refer to the Conguration and Wireless Security
sections for more information on setting up your wireless network.

Wireless Security
This section will show you the dierent levels of security you can use to protect your data from intruders. The
DIR-605L oers the following types of security:
• WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) • WPA2-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
• WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) • WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
• WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
What is WEP?
WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy. It is based on the IEEE 802.11 standard and uses the RC4 encryption algorithm. WEP
provides security by encrypting data over your wireless network so that it is protected as it is transmitted from one wireless
device to another.
To gain access to a WEP network, you must know the key. The key is a string of characters that you create. When using WEP,
you must determine the level of encryption. The type of encryption determines the key length. 128-bit encryption requires a
longer key than 64-bit encryption. Keys are dened by entering in a string in HEX (hexadecimal - using characters 0-9, A-F) or
ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange – alphanumeric characters) format. ASCII format is provided so
you can enter a string that is easier to remember. The ASCII string is converted to HEX for use over the network. Four keys can
be dened so that you can change keys easily.

Congure WEP
It is recommended to enable encryption on your wireless router before your wireless network adapters. Please establish

5. Next to WEP Key 1, enter a WEP key that you create. Make sure
you enter this key exactly on all your wireless devices. You may
enter up to four dierent keys either using Hex or ASCII. Hex is
recommended (letters A-F and numbers 0-9 are valid). In ASCII all
numbers and letters are valid.
6. Click Save Settings to save your settings. If you are conguring
the router with a wireless adapter, you will lose connectivity until
you enable WEP on your adapter and enter the same WEP key as
you did on the router.

Wireless Security
This section will show you the dierent levels of security you can use to protect your data from intruders. The
DIR-605L oers the following types of security:
• WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) • WPA2-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
• WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) • WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
• WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
What is WEP?
WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy. It is based on the IEEE 802.11 standard and uses the RC4 encryption algorithm. WEP
provides security by encrypting data over your wireless network so that it is protected as it is transmitted from one wireless
device to another.
To gain access to a WEP network, you must know the key. The key is a string of characters that you create. When using WEP,
you must determine the level of encryption. The type of encryption determines the key length. 128-bit encryption requires a
longer key than 64-bit encryption. Keys are dened by entering in a string in HEX (hexadecimal - using characters 0-9, A-F) or
ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange – alphanumeric characters) format. ASCII format is provided so
you can enter a string that is easier to remember. The ASCII string is converted to HEX for use over the network. Four keys can
be dened so that you can change keys easily.

Congure WEP
It is recommended to enable encryption on your wireless router
before your wireless network adapters. Please establish wireless
connectivity before enabling encryption. Your wireless signal may
degrade when enabling encryption due to the added overhead.
1. Log into the web-based conguration by opening a web browser
and entering the IP address of the router (192.168.0.1).
Click on Wireless Setup on the left side.
2. In the Security Mode section, select WEP from the drop-down

3. In WEP Key Length, select either 64Bit or 128Bit encryption from
the drop-down menu.
5. Next to WEP Key 1, enter a WEP key that you create. Make sure
you enter this key exactly on all your wireless devices. You may
enter up to four dierent keys either using Hex or ASCII. Hex is
recommended (letters A-F and numbers 0-9 are valid). In ASCII all
numbers and letters are valid.
6. Click Save Settings to save your settings. If you are conguring the router with a wireless adapter, you will lose connectivity
until you enable WEP on your adapter and enter the same WEP key as you did on the router.
