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. Ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or office. The key to maximizing the 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 adapters range from 3 to 90 feet (1 to 30 meters.) Position your devices so that the number of walls and/or ceilings is minimized. 2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (0.5 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. Try to position access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through open doorways and drywall. Materials such as glass, metal, brick, insulation, concrete and water can affect wireless performance. Large objects such as fish tanks, mirrors, file cabinets, metal doors and aluminum studs may also have a negative effect on range. 4. Keep your product at least 3 to 6 feet (1-2 meters) away from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise. 5. If you are using 2.4 GHz cordless phones, make sure that the 2.4 GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless device as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone in not in use. In some cases, cordless phones, X-10 wireless devices, and electronic equipment such as ceiling fans, fluorescent lights, and home security systems may dramatically degrade wireless connectivity. Section 2 - Hardware Installation Connect to Cable/DSL/Satellite Modem If you are connecting the router to a Cable/DSL/Satellite Modem, please follow the steps below:

1. Place the router in an open and central location. Do not plug the power adapter into the router. 2. Turn the power off on your modem. If there is no on/off switch, unplug the modems power adapter. Shut down your computer. 3. Unplug the Ethernet cable (that connects your computer to your modem) from your computer and place it into the Internet port on the router. 4. Plug an Ethernet cable into one of the LAN ports on the router. Plug the other end into the Ethernet port on your computer. 5. Turn on or plug in your modem. Wait for the modem to boot (about 30 seconds). 6. Plug the power adapter into the router and connect to an outlet or power strip. Wait about 30 seconds for the router to boot up. 7. Turn on your computer. 8. Verify that the Power LED on the router is lit. If the Power LED does not light up, make sure your computer, modem, and router are powered, on and verify that the cables connected correctly. 9.

Visibility Status: The Invisible option allows you to hide your wireless network. When this option is set to Visible, your wireless network name is broadcasted to anyone within the range of your signal. If you are not using encryption then they could connect to your network. When Invisible mode is enabled, you must enter the Wireless Network Name (SSID) on the client manually to connect to the network. Section 3 - Software Configuration By default the wireless security of this router will be disabled. In this next option the user can enabled or disable wireless security for the frequency band 2.4GHz. There are two types of encryption that can be used- WEP or WPA/WPA2. Wireless Security Mode: WEP Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is the most basic form of encryption that can be used for wireless networks. Even though it is known as a weak security method, it is better than no security at all. Older wireless adapter sometimes only supports WEP encryption and thus we still find this encryption method used today. WEP Key Length: Here the user can specify to either use a 64Bit or a 128Bit encrypted key. Authentication: Authentication is a process by which the router verifies the identity of a network device that is attempting to join the wireless network. There are two types authentication for this device when using WEP. Open System allows all wireless devices to communicate with the router before they are required to provide the encryption key needed to gain access to the network. Shared Key requires any wireless device attempting to communicate with the router to provide the encryption key needed to access the network before they are allowed to communicate with the router. WEP Key 1: Enter the WEP key used here. For 64-bit keys you must enter 10 hex digits into each key box. For 128-bit keys you must enter 26 hex digits into each key box. A hex digit is either a number from 0 to 9 or a letter from A to F. You may also enter any text string into a WEP key box, in which case it will be converted into a hexadecimal key using the ASCII values of the characters. A maximum of 5 text characters can be entered for 64-bit keys, and a maximum of 13 characters for 128-bit keys. Section 3 - Software Configuration Wireless Security Mode: WPA-Personal Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is the most advanced and up to date wireless encryption method used today. This is the recommended wireless security option. WPA supports two authentication frameworks. Personal (PSK) and Enterprise (EAP). Personal requires only the use of a pass-phrase (Shared Secret) for security. The following parameters will be available for configuration:

WPA Mode: WPA is the older standard; select this option if the clients that will be used with the router only support the older standard. WPA2 is the newer implementation of the stronger IEEE 802.11i security standard. With the WPA2 option, the router tries WPA2 first, but falls back to WPA if the client only supports WPA. With the WPA2 Only option, the router associates only with clients that also support WPA2 security. Cipher Type: Select the appropriate cipher type to use here. Options to choose from are Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), Advanced Encryption Standard

This secret phrase needs to be the same on all of the wireless clients for them to be able to connect to the wireless network successfully. Section 3 - Software Configuration Wireless Security Mode: WPA-Enterprise Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is the most advanced and up to date wireless encryption method used today. This is the recommended wireless security option. WPA supports two authentication frameworks. Personal (PSK) and Enterprise (EAP). Personal requires only the use of a pass-phrase (Shared Secret) for security. WPA Mode: WPA is the older standard; select this option if the clients that will be used with the router only support the older standard. WPA2 is the newer implementation of the stronger IEEE 802.11i security standard. With the WPA2 option, the router tries WPA2 first, but falls back to WPA if the client only supports WPA. With the WPA2 Only option, the router associates only with clients that also support WPA2 security. Group Key Update Interval:

Section 3 - Software Configuration Network Settings On this page the user can configure the internal network settings of the router and also able to configure the built-in DHCP server to assign IP addresses to computers on the network. The IP address that is configured here is the IP address that is used to access the Web-based management interface. If you change the IP address in this section, you may need to adjust your PCs network settings to access the network again. Router IP Address:

Default Subnet Mask:

Enter the IP address of the router. The default IP address is 192.168.0.1. If you change the IP address, once you click Apply, you will need to enter the new IP address in your browser to get back into the configuration utility. Enter the Subnet Mask. The default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. Host Name: Enter a Host Name to identify this device. Local Domain Name:

Enable DNS Relay:

Enter the local domain name used here. (Optional). Uncheck the box to transfer the DNS server information from your ISP to your computers. If checked, your computers will use the router for a DNS server. DHCP Server Settings DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. This device has a built-in DHCP server. The DHCP Server will automatically assign an IP address to the computers on the LAN/private network. Be sure to set your computers to be DHCP clients by setting their TCP/IP settings to Obtain an IP Address Automatically. When you turn your computers on, they will automatically load the proper TCP/IP settings provided by the router. The DHCP Server will automatically allocate an unused IP address from the IP address pool to the requesting computer. You must specify the starting and ending address of the IP address pool. Section 3 - Software Configuration The following parameters will be available for configuration:

Enable DHCP Server:

DHCP IP Address Range:

DHCP Lease Time:

Always Broadcast:

NetBIOS announcement:

Learn NetBIOS from WAN:

Check this box to enable the DHCP server on your router. Uncheck to disable this function. Enter the starting and ending IP addresses for the DHCP servers IP assignment. The length of time for the IP address lease. Enter the Lease time in minutes. If all the computers on the LAN successfully obtain their IP addresses from the routers DHCP server as expected, this option can remain disabled. However, if one of the computers on the LAN fails to obtain an IP address from the routers DHCP server, it may have an old DHCP client that incorrectly turns off the broadcast flag of DHCP packets. Enabling this option will cause the router to always broadcast its responses to all clients, thereby working around the problem, at the cost of increased broadcast traffic on the LAN. Check this box to allow the DHCP Server to offer NetBIOS configuration settings to the LAN hosts. NetBIOS allow LAN hosts to discover all other computers within the network, e.g. within Network Neighborhood. If NetBIOS announcement is switched on, it will cause WINS information to be learned from the WAN side, if available. Turn this setting off to configure manually. NetBIOS Scope: This is an advanced setting and is normally left blank. This allows the configuration of a NetBIOS domain name under which network hosts operate. This setting has no effect if the Learn NetBIOS information from WAN is activated. Section 3 - Software Configuration NetBIOS node type:

Primary WINS Server IP address:

Secondary WINS Server IP address:

This field indicates how network hosts are to perform NetBIOS name registration and discovery. H-Node, this indicates a Hybrid-

State of operation. First WINS servers are tried, if any, followed by local network broadcast. This is generally the preferred mode if you have configured WINS servers. M-Node (default), this indicates a Mixed-Mode of operation. First Broadcast operation is performed to register hosts and discover other hosts, if broadcast operation fails, WINS servers are tried, if any. This mode favours broadcast operation which may be preferred if WINS servers are reachable by a slow network link and the majority of network services such as servers and printers are local to the LAN. P-Node, this indicates to use WINS servers ONLY. This setting is useful to force all NetBIOS operation to the configured WINS servers. You must have configured at least the primary WINS server IP to point to a working WINS server. B-Node, this indicates to use local network broadcast ONLY. This setting is useful where there are no WINS servers available, however, it is preferred you try M-Node operation first. This setting has no effect if the Learn NetBIOS information from WAN is activated. Configure the IP address of the preferred WINS server. WINS Servers store information regarding network hosts, allowing hosts to register themselves as well as discover other available hosts, e.g. for use in Network Neighborhood. This setting has no effect if the Learn NetBIOS information from WAN is activated. Configure the IP address of the backup WINS server, if any. This setting has no effect if the Learn NetBIOS information from WAN is activated. Section 3 - Software Configuration Add/Edit DHCP Reservation This option lets you reserve IP addresses, and assign the same IP address to the network device with the specified MAC address any time it requests an IP address. This is almost the same as when a device has a static IP address except that the device must still request an IP address from the D-Link router. The D-Link router will provide the device the same IP address every time. DHCP Reservations are helpful for server computers on the local network that are hosting applications such as Web and FTP. Servers on your network should either use a static IP address or use this option. The following parameters will be available for configuration:

Enable: Check this box to enable the reservation. Computer Name: Enter the computer name. Alternatively, select a computer that currently has a DHCP lease from the drop down menu and click << to automatically populate the Computer Name, IP Address, and MAC Address fields. IP Address: Enter the IP address you want to assign to the computer or device. This IP Address must be within the DHCP IP Address Range. MAC Address: Enter the MAC address of the computer or device.
