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 congure 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 o 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 D-Link CD, make sure the computer you are running the CD from is
connected to the Internet and online or the wizard will not work. If you have disconnected any hardware, reconnect your computer back to the modem and make sure you are online.

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.

Connect to Another Router
If you are connecting the D-Link router to another router to use as a wireless access point and/or switch, you will have to do
the following before connecting the router 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 and use the power switch to power up 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 and 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 Log In to continue.
3. Click on Advanced and then click Advanced Network. Uncheck the Enable UPnP checkbox. Click Save Settings 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.

Virtual Server
The DIR-600 can be congured 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-600 rewall feature lters out unrecognized packets to protect your LAN network so all computers networked with
the DIR-600 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-600 redirects the external service request to
the appropriate server within the LAN network.
The DIR-600 is also capable of port-redirection, meaning that incoming trac to a particular port may be redirected to a
dierent port on the server computer.

Using this example, you would enter 284. Alternatively you can test your uplink speed with a
service such as www.dslreports.com.
By default, the router automatically determines whether the underlying connection is an xDSL/Frame-relay network or some other
connection type (such as cable modem or Ethernet), and it displays the result as Detected xDSL or Frame Relay Network. If you have
an unusual network connection in which you are actually connected via xDSL but for which you congure either “Static” or “DHCP”
in the Internet settings, setting this option to xDSL or Other Frame Relay Network ensures that the router will recognize that it needs
to shape trac slightly dierently in order to give the best performance. Choosing xDSL or Other Frame Relay Network causes the

chosen computer completely to the outside world.
Firewall Settings:
DMZ Host:
Check the Enable SPI box to enable the SPI (Stateful
Packet Inspection, also known as dynamic packet ltering)

tracking more state per session. It validates that the trac
passing through the session conforms to the protocol.
If an application has trouble working from behind the
router, you can expose one computer to the Internet and
run the application on that computer.
Carry out the following to create a DMZ host:
1. Check the Enable DMZ box.
2. Specify the IP address of the computer on the
LAN that you want to have unrestricted Internet
communication in the DMZ IP address eld. To
specify an existing DHCP client, use the Computer Name drop-down to select the computer that
you want to make a DMZ host. If selecting a
computer that is a DHCP client, be sure to make
a static reservation in the Setup > Network Settings page so that the IP address of the DMZ
machine does not change.
3. Click the Save Settings button to add the new

Section 4 - Security
Wireless Security
This section will show you the dierent levels of security you can use to protect your data from intruders. The
DIR-600 oers the following types of security:
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve the security features of WEP (Wired Equivalent
Privacy).
The 2 major improvements over WEP:
• Improved data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP scrambles the keys using a
hashing algorithm and, by adding an integrity-checking feature, ensures that the keys haven’t been tampered
with. WPA2 is based on 802.11i and uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) instead of TKIP.
• User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, through the extensible authentication protocol (EAP).
WEP regulates access to a wireless network based on a computer’s hardware-specic MAC address, which is
relatively simple to be snied out and stolen. EAP is built on a more secure public-key encryption system to
ensure that only authorized network users can access the network.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK uses a passphrase or key to authenticate your wireless connection. The key is an alpha-numeric password
between 8 and 63 characters long. The password can include symbols (!?*&_) and spaces. This key must be the exact same key
entered on your wireless router or access point.
WPA/WPA2 incorporates user authentication through the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). EAP is built on a more
secure public key encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network.
