• Faster Wireless Networking - The DIR-605L 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.

• Compatible with 802.11b and 802.11g Devices - The DIR-605L is still fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11b

and IEEE 802.11g standard, so it can connect with existing 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g PCI, USB and Cardbus

adapters.

• Cloud Service - The DIR-605L features a new cloud service that pushes information such as rmware upgrade

notications, user activity, and intrusion alerts to the mydlink™ app on Android and Apple mobile devices. To

insure that your router is up-to-date with the latest features, mydlink™ will notify you when an update is available

for your router. You can also monitor a user’s online activity with real-time website browsing history, maintaining

a safe and secure environment, especially for children at home.

• Easy Setup Wizard - Through its easy-to-use Web-based user interface, the DIR-605L lets you control what

information is accessible to those on your wireless network, whether from the Internet or from your company’s

server. Congure your router to your specic settings within minutes.

* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g and 802.11n specications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors,

including volume of network trac, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental conditions will adversely

aect wireless signal range.

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 congure 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.

Section 2 - Installation

Wireless Installation Considerations

The D-Link wireless router allows 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 dierence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative eect 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.

Section 3 - Conguration

Wireless Security

This section will show you the dierent levels of security you can use to protect your data from intruders. The DIR-605L oers

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)

What is WPA?

WPA, or Wi-Fi Protected Access, is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve the security features of WEP (Wired Equivalent

Privacy).

The two 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-specic MAC address, which is

relatively simple to be snied 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.

Troubleshooting

This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DIR-605L. Read the

following descriptions if you are having problems. (The examples below are illustrated in Windows® XP. If you have a dierent

operating system, the screenshots on your computer will look similar to the following examples.)

1. Why can’t I access the web-based conguration utility?

When entering the IP address of the D-Link router (192.168.0.1 for example), you are not connecting to a website on the Internet

or have to be connected to the Internet. The device has the utility built-in to a ROM chip in the device itself. Your computer

must be on the same IP subnet to connect to the web-based utility.

• Make sure you have an updated Java-enabled web browser. We recommend the following:

• Internet Explorer 7 or higher

• Firefox 3.5 or higher

• Safari 4 or higher

• Chrome 8 or higher

• Verify physical connectivity by checking for solid link lights on the device. If you do not get a solid link light, try using a dierent

cable or connect to a dierent port on the device if possible. If the computer is turned o, the link light may not be on.

• Disable any internet security software running on the computer. Software rewalls such as Zone Alarm, Black Ice, Sygate,

Norton Personal Firewall, and Windows® XP rewall may block access to the conguration pages. Check the help les included

with your rewall software for more information on disabling or conguring it.

69D-Link DIR-605L User Manual

Section 12 - Troubleshooting

• Congure your Internet settings:

• Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel. Double-click the Internet Options Icon. From the Security tab, click

the button to restore the settings to their defaults.

• Click the Connection tab and set the dial-up option to Never Dial a Connection. Click the LAN Settings button.

Make sure nothing is checked. Click OK.

• Go to the Advanced tab and click the button to restore these settings to their defaults. Click OK three times.

• Close your web browser (if open) and open it.

• Access the web management. Open your web browser and enter the IP address of your D-Link router in the address bar. This

should open the login page for your the web management.

• If you still cannot access the conguration, unplug the power to the router for 10 seconds and plug back in. Wait about 30

seconds and try accessing the conguration. If you have multiple computers, try connecting using a dierent computer.

2. What can I do if I forgot my password?

If you forgot your password, you must reset your router. Unfortunately this process will change all your settings back to the

factory defaults.

To reset the router, locate the reset button (hole) on the rear panel of the unit. With the router powered on, use a paperclip

to hold the button down for 10 seconds. Release the button and the router will go through its reboot process. Wait about 30

seconds to access the router. The default IP address is 192.168.0.1. When logging in, the username is admin and leave the

password box empty.

Section 12 - Troubleshooting

3. Why can’t I connect to certain sites or send and receive emails when connecting through my router?

If you are having a problem sending or receiving email, or connecting to secure sites such as eBay, banking sites, and Hotmail,

we suggest lowering the MTU in increments of ten (Ex. 1492, 1482, 1472, etc).

Note: AOL DSL+ users must use MTU of 1400.

To nd the proper MTU Size, you’ll have to do a special ping of the destination you’re trying to go to. A destination could be

another computer, or a URL.

• Click on Start and then click Run.

• Windows® 95, 98, and Me users type in command (Windows® NT, 2000, and XP users type in cmd) and press

Enter (or click OK).

• Once the window opens, you’ll need to do a special ping. Use the following syntax:

ping [url] [-f] [-l] [MTU value]

Example: ping yahoo.com -f -l 1472

71D-Link DIR-605L User Manual

Section 12 - Troubleshooting

You should start at 1472 and work your way down by 10 each time. Once you get a reply, go up by 2 until you get a fragmented

packet. Take that value and add 28 to the value to account for the various TCP/IP headers. For example, let’s say that 1452 was

the proper value, the actual MTU size would be 1480, which is the optimum for the network we’re working with (1452+28=1480).

Once you nd your MTU, you can now congure your router with the proper MTU size.

To change the MTU rate on your router follow the steps below:

• Open your browser, enter the IP address of your router (192.168.0.1) and click OK.

• Enter your username (admin) and password (blank by default). Click OK to enter the web conguration page

for the device.

• Click on Setup and then click Manual Congure.

• To change the MTU enter the number in the MTU eld and click the Save Settings button to save your settings.

• Test your email. If changing the MTU does not resolve the problem, continue changing the MTU in increments

of ten.

Appendix A - Wireless Basics

D-Link wireless products are based on industry standards to provide easy-to-use and compatible high-speed wireless

connectivity within your home, business or public access wireless networks. Strictly adhering to the IEEE standard, the D-Link

wireless family of products will allow you to securely access the data you want, when and where you want it. You will be able

to enjoy the freedom that wireless networking delivers.

A wireless local area network (WLAN) is a cellular computer network that transmits and receives data with radio signals instead of

wires. Wireless LANs are used increasingly in both home and oce environments, and public areas such as airports, coee shops

and universities. Innovative ways to utilize WLAN technology are helping people to work and communicate more eciently.

Increased mobility and the absence of cabling and other xed infrastructure have proven to be benecial for many users.

Wireless users can use the same applications they use on a wired network. Wireless adapter cards used on laptop and desktop

systems support the same protocols as Ethernet adapter cards.

Under many circumstances, it may be desirable for mobile network devices to link to a conventional Ethernet LAN in order to

use servers, printers or an Internet connection supplied through the wired LAN. A Wireless Router is a device used to provide

this link.

Appendix A - Wireless Basics

What is Wireless?

Wireless or Wi-Fi technology is another way of connecting your computer to the network without using wires. Wi-Fi uses radio

frequency to connect wirelessly, so you have the freedom to connect computers anywhere in your home or oce network.

Why D-Link Wireless?

D-Link is the worldwide leader and award winning designer, developer, and manufacturer of networking products. D-Link

delivers the performance you need at a price you can aord. D-Link has all the products you need to build your network.

How does wireless work?

Wireless works similar to how cordless phone work, through radio signals to transmit data from one point A to point B. But

wireless technology has restrictions as to how you can access the network. You must be within the wireless network range area

to be able to connect your computer. There are two dierent types of wireless networks Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN),

and Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN).

Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)

In a wireless local area network, a device called an Access Point (AP) connects computers to the network. The access point has

a small antenna attached to it, which allows it to transmit data back and forth over radio signals. With an indoor access point

as seen in the picture, the signal can travel up to 300 feet. With an outdoor access point the signal can reach out up to 30 miles

to serve places like manufacturing plants, industrial locations, college and high school campuses, airports, golf courses, and

many other outdoor venues.

74D-Link DIR-605L User Manual

Appendix A - Wireless Basics

Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN)

Bluetooth is the industry standard wireless technology used for WPAN. Bluetooth devices in WPAN operate in a range up to

30 feet away.

Compared to WLAN the speed and wireless operation range are both less than WLAN, but in return it doesn’t use nearly as

much power which makes it ideal for personal devices, such as mobile phones, PDAs, headphones, laptops, speakers, and other

devices that operate on batteries.

Who uses wireless?

Wireless technology has become so popular in recent years that almost everyone is using it, whether it’s for home, oce,

business, D-Link has a wireless solution for it.

Home

• Gives everyone at home broadband access

• Surf the web, check email, instant message, and etc

• Gets rid of the cables around the house

• Simple and easy to use

Small Oce and Home Oce

• Stay on top of everything at home as you would at oce

• Remotely access your oce network from home

• Share Internet connection and printer with multiple computers

• No need to dedicate oce space

75D-Link DIR-605L User Manual

Appendix A - Wireless Basics

Where is wireless used?

Wireless technology is expanding everywhere not just at home or oce. People like the freedom of mobility and it’s becoming

so popular that more and more public facilities now provide wireless access to attract people. The wireless connection in public

places is usually called “hotspots”.

Using a D-Link Cardbus Adapter with your laptop, you can access the hotspot to connect to Internet from remote locations

like airports, hotels, coee shops, libraries, restaurants, and convention centers.

Wireless network is easy to setup, but if you’re installing it for the rst time it could be quite a task not knowing where to start.

That’s why we’ve put together a few setup steps and tips to help you through the process of setting up a wireless network.

Tips

Here are a few things to keep in mind, when you install a wireless network.

Centralize your router or Access Point

Make sure you place the router/access point in a centralized location within your network for the best performance. Try to

place the router/access point as high as possible in the room, so the signal gets dispersed throughout your home. If you have

a two-story home, you may need a repeater to boost the signal to extend the range.

For the wireless repeater, there are two types of repeater in D-Link for user to select:

• Universal repeater: It acts as an AP and a wireless STA at the same time. It can support all AP and wireless STA if

they work in the same wireless channel.

• AP-repeater (AP with WDS): only repeat same model or limited models which base on the same proprietary

protocol.

Please choose a universal repeater to boost the signal to extend the range.

76D-Link DIR-605L User Manual

Appendix A - Wireless Basics

Eliminate Interference

Place home appliances such as cordless telephones, microwaves, and televisions as far away as possible from the router/access

point. This would signicantly reduce any interference that the appliances might cause since they operate on same frequency.

Security

Don’t let your next-door neighbors or intruders connect to your wireless network. Secure your wireless network by turning on

the WPA or WEP security feature on the router. Refer to product manual for detail information on how to set it up.

There are basically two modes of networking:

• Infrastructure – All wireless clients will connect to an access point or wireless router.

• Ad-Hoc – Directly connecting to another computer, for peer-to-peer communication, using wireless network

adapters on each computer.

An Infrastructure network contains an Access Point or wireless router. All the wireless devices, or clients, will connect to the

wireless router or access point.

An Ad-Hoc network contains only clients, such as laptops with wireless Cardbus adapters. All the adapters must be in Ad-Hoc

mode to communicate.
