User Manual Overview
CHAPTER 2. OVERVIEW
General Information
DSL-224 is an affordable high-end VDSL/ADSL router with Wi-Fi and built-in switch.
The router is equipped with a DSL port to connect to a high-speed VDSL line and 4 Ethernet ports
to connect workstations. Due to this feature, DSL-224 represents a moderate-priced solution for
creating wired networks without an additional switch.
DSL-224 can operate as a base station for connecting wireless devices of the standards 802.11b,
802.11g, and 802.11n. The router supports multiple functions for the wireless interface: several
security standards (WEP, WPA/WPA2), MAC address filtering, and the WPS function.
In addition, the device is equipped with a button for switching the Wi-Fi network off/on. If needed,
for example, when you leave home, you can easily switch the router’s WLAN by pressing the
button, and devices connected to the LAN ports of the router will stay online.
Support of guest Wi-Fi network allows you to create a separate wireless network with individual
security settings and maximum rate limitation. Devices connected to the guest network will be able
to access the Internet, but will be isolated from the devices and resources of the router's LAN.
The wireless router DSL-224 includes a built-in firewall. The advanced security functions minimize
threats of hacker attacks, prevent unwanted intrusions to your network, and block access to
unwanted websites for users of your LAN.
Built-in Yandex.DNS service protects against malicious and fraudulent web sites and helps to block
access to adult content on children's devices.
You can configure and manage the settings of the wireless router DSL-224 via the user-friendly
web-based interface (the interface is available in two languages – in Russian and in English).
The fast and easy configuration wizard allows you to specify all needed parameters in several
simple steps.
Now you can simply update the firmware: the router itself finds approved firmware on D-Link
update server and notifies when ready to install it.

When you select this value from the drop-down list, the Peak cell
rate field is displayed. Specify a required value (in cells per second).
CBR
(Constant Bit Rate): This service is used for applications that require
a constant data rate. It is mostly used for transferring uncompressed
audio and video, e.g. videoconferencing, interactive audio

air ticket booking, bank transactions, and process monitoring. When
you select this value from the drop-down list, the Peak cell rate,
Sustainable cell rate, and Maximum burst size fields are
displayed. Specify required values.
Realtime VBR
(Real-time Variable Bit Rate): This service is used for delay-sensitive
applications such as real time video. The Rt-VBR provides higher
network flexibility than the CBR service. When you select this value
from the drop-down list, the Peak cell rate, Sustainable cell
rate, and Maximum burst size fields are displayed. Specify

IGMP/ALG/Passthrough
On the Advanced / IGMP/ALG/Passthrough page, you can allow the router to use IGMP and
RTSP, enable the SIP ALG and PPPoE/PPTP/L2TP/IPsec pass through functions.
IGMP is used for managing multicast traffic (transferring data to a group of destinations). This
protocol allows using network resources for some applications, e.g., for streaming video, more
efficiently.
SIP is used for creating, modifying, and terminating communication sessions. This protocol allows
telephone calls via the Internet.
RTSP is used for real-time streaming multimedia data delivery. This protocol allows some
applications to receive streaming audio/video from the Internet.
The PPPoE pass through function allows PPPoE clients of computers from your LAN to connect to
the Internet through PPPoE connections of the router.
The PPTP pass through, L2TP pass through and IPsec pass through functions allow VPN PPTP,
L2TP and IPsec traffic to pass through the router so that clients from your LAN can establish
relevant connections with remote networks.

DMZ
A DMZ is a host or network segment located “between” internal (local) and external (global)
networks. In the router, the DMZ implements the capability to transfer a request coming to a port of
the router from the external network to a specified host of the internal network.
On the Firewall / DMZ page, you can specify the IP address of the DMZ host.
Figure 111. The Firewall / DMZ page.
To enable the DMZ, move the Enable switch to the right.
Enter the IP address of a host from your network in the IP address field. To choose a device
connected to the router's LAN at the moment, select the relevant value from the drop-down list (the
field will be filled in automatically).
Click the APPLY button.
Note that when the DMZ is enabled, all traffic coming to a port of the WAN interface of the router
is directed to the same port of the specified IP address. Also note that virtual servers have higher
priority than the DMZ host. In other words, if there has been created a virtual server that directs
traffic from external port 80 to a port of the device from the router's local network, then entering
http://router_WAN_IP in the address bar, users of the external network are directed to the
specified port and IP address configured for the virtual server, but not to port 80 of the device with
the IP address specified on the Firewall / DMZ page.
To disable the DMZ, move the Enable switch to the left and click the APPLY button.

click the APPLY button. Contact your ISP to clarify if this setting needs to be enabled. If the Get
NTP server addresses using DHCP switch is moved to the right, the NTP Servers section is
not displayed.

When the router is powered off or rebooted, the system time is reset to the default value.
If you have set automatic synchronization for the system time, the internal clock of the
device will be configured after connecting to the Inter net. If you have set the system time
manually, you need to set the time and date again (see above).

Wireless Installation Considerations
The DSL-224 device 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 noise in your home or office. To maximize your wireless range, follow the
guidelines below.
1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DSL-224 device and other network
devices to a minimum – each wall or ceiling can reduce your wireless network range by 3-
90 feet (1-30 meters).
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. Place your devices so that the signal
travels straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.
3. Building materials make a difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a
negative effect on your wireless range. Try to position your router, access points, and
computers so that the signal passes through drywalls 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 router away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances
that generate RF noise.
5. If you are using 2.4 GHz cordless phones or X-10 equipment (wireless devices such as
ceiling fans, lights, and home security systems), your wireless connection may degrade
dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4 GHz phone base is as far away from
your wireless devices as possible. Note, that the base transmits a signal even if the phone in
not in use.
