performance of the WBR-2310 over other 802.11g based competitors.
The D-Link WBR-2310 wireless router employs five cutting-edge hardware-based compression technologies to achieve
a significant boost in performance within the 2.4GHz frequency range.
The WBR-2310 features robust security to protect the wireless network from intruders, complying with the latest wireless
networking security protocols, including WEP encryption and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) support for both 802.1x
and WPA-PSK. The WBR-2310 is also capable of supporting the government-grade AES encryption and upcoming
802.11i standards.
In addition to being the industry’s fastest wireless network solution, It includes management settings and policy-based
content filtering for advanced network management. Filters can be set based on MAC address, IP address, URL and/or

Section 2 - Installation
Before you Begin
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 WAN 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.

Wireless Installation Considerations
Section 2 - Installation
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.
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.
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5 meters), at a
range. Try to position access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through
3. Building Materials make a difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative effect on
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

Advanced Wireless Settings
Select the basic transfer rates based on the speed of
wireless adapters on your wireless network. It is strongly
recommended to keep this setting to Auto.
Set the transmit power of the antennas.
Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point to
synchronize a wireless network. Specify a value. 100 is
the default setting and is recommended.
This value should remain at its default setting of 2432.
If inconsistent data flow is a problem, only a minor
modification should be made.
The fragmentation threshold, which is specified in bytes,
determines whether packets will be fragmented. Packets exceeding the 2346 byte setting will be fragmented before transmission.
2346 is the default setting.
(Delivery Traffic Indication Message) 3 is the default setting. A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for
listening to broadcast and multicast messages.
Select Short or Long Preamble. The Preamble defines the length of the CRC block (Cyclic Redundancy Check is a common
technique for detecting data transmission errors) for communication between the wireless router and the roaming wireless
network adapters. Auto is the default setting. Note: High network traffic areas should use the shorter preamble type.
CTS (Clear To Send) is a function used to minimize collisions among wireless devices on a wireless local area network
(LAN). CTS will make sure the wireless network is clear before a wireless client attempts to send wireless data. Enabling
CTS will add overhead and may lower wireless through put. None: CTS is typically used in a pure 802.11g environment. If
CTS is set to “None” in a mixed mode environment populated by 802.11b clients, wireless collisions may occur frequently.
Always: CTS will always be used to make sure the wireless LAN is clear before sending data. Auto: CTS will monitor the
wireless network and automatically decide whether to implement CTS based on the amount of traffic and collisions that
occurs on the wireless network.
WMM is QoS for your wireless network. Enable this option to improve the quality of video and voice applications for your
wireless clients.
