The WPA Mode further refines the variant that the router should employ. 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. Cipher Type: The encryption algorithm used to secure the data communication. Group Key Update Interval: The amount of time before the group key used for broadcast and multicast data is changed. It cannot be shorter than eight characters, although for proper security it needs to be of ample length and should not be a commonly known phrase.
This phrase is used to generate session keys that are unique for each wireless client. Wireless clients should have established the necessary credentials before attempting to authenticate to the Server through this Gateway. Authentication Timeout: Amount of time before a client will be required to re-authenticate. MAC Address Authentication: If this is selected, the user must connect from the same computer whenever logging into the wireless network.
If you are unsure of your connection method, please contact your Internet Service Provider. In this case, it is preferable to use the modem's user interface to disable NAT on the modem, then connect the router using the WAN mode appropriate to the no-NAT state of the modem. This way they know your computer is eligible to receive an IP address. In other words, they know that you are paying for their service.
In this case, turn the unicasting option on, and observe whether the router can obtain an IP address. In this mode, the router accepts unicast responses from the DHCP server instead of broadcast responses. The D-Link router allows you to set the reconnection mode. The settings are:. The value may be the same as the Gateway IP Address. Leave the field for the secondary server empty if not used.
If LAN devices send larger packets, the router will break them into smaller packets. If the router's MTU is set too high, packets will be fragmented downstream. If the router's MTU is set too low, the router will fragment packets unnecessarily and in extreme cases may be unable to establish some connections. In either case, network performance can suffer. Some ISP's record the MAC address of the network adapter in the computer or router used to initially connect to their service.
Once your D-Link router is properly configured and this option is enabled, the DHCP Server will manage the IP addresses and other network configuration information for computers and other devices connected to your Local Area Network. There is no need for you to do this yourself. It is possible for a computer or device that is manually configured to have an address that does reside within this range. Your D-Link router, by default, has a static IP address of This means that addresses 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. Servers on your network should either use a static IP address or use this option. You can assign a name for each computer that is given a reserved IP address.
This may help you keep track of which computers are assigned this way. Example: Game Server. A MAC address is usually located on a sticker on the bottom of a network device. The MAC address is comprised of twelve digits. Each pair of hexadecimal digits are usually separated by dashes or colons such as D or D As an alternative, you can locate a MAC address in a specific operating system by following the steps below:.

Wireless Channel A wireless network uses specific channels in the wireless spectrum to handle communication between clients. Some channels in your area may have interference from other electronic devices. Choose the clearest channel to help optimize the performance and coverage of your wireless network. If you have some devices that use a different transmission mode, choose the appropriate "Mixed" mode.
The other options are available for special circumstances. Transmission Rate By default the fastest possible transmission rate will be selected. You have the option of selecting the speed if necessary. Visibility Status The Invisible option allows you to hide your wireless network. When this option is set to Visible, your wireless network name is broadcast to anyone within the range of your signal. If you're not using encryption then they could connect to your network.
Security Mode Unless one of these encryption modes is selected, wireless transmissions to and from your wireless network can be easily intercepted and interpreted by unauthorized users. WEP A method of encrypting data for wireless communication intended to provide the same level of privacy as a wired network. Example: bit hexadecimal keys are exactly 10 characters in length.
Example: Wireless Networking technology enables ubiquitous communication. The IP information is manually entered in your IP configuration settings.
Your ISP provides you with all of this information. Some ISP's require you to make some settings on your side before your router can connect to the Internet.
DSL providers typically use this option. This method of connection requires you to enter a Username and Password provided by your Internet Service Provider to gain access to the Internet. The settings are: Always on: A connection to the Internet is always maintained.
On demand: A connection to the Internet is made as needed. Manual: You have to open up the Web-based management interface and click the Connect button manually any time that you wish to connect to the Internet. This method of connection is primarily used in Europe. The following options apply to all WAN modes. The IP address is also used to access this Web-based management interface. It is recommended that you use the default settings if you do not have an existing network.
Your local area network settings are based on the address assigned here. For example, Subnet Mask The subnet mask of your router on the local area network. Local Domain Name This entry is optional. Enter a domain name for the local network. So, for example, if you enter mynetwork. Any addresses that are outside of this range are not managed by the DHCP Server; these could, therefore, be used for manually configured devices or devices that cannot use DHCP to obtain network address details automatically.
Example: Your D-Link router uses You've assigned a computer that you want to designate as a Web server with a static IP address of You've assigned another computer that you want to designate as an FTP server with a static IP address of This means that Computers or devices that use addresses from these ranges are to be manually configured. Suppose you have a web server computer that has a manually configured address of Because this falls within the "managed range" be sure to create a reservation for this address and match it to the relevant computer see Static DHCP Client below.
The lease functions just as a lease on an apartment would. The initial lease designates the amount of time before the lease expires. If the tenant wishes to retain the address when the lease is expired then a new lease is established. If the lease expires and the address is no longer needed than another tenant may use the address. 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.
Turn this setting off to configure manually. WINS Servers store information regarding network hosts, allowing hosts to 'register' themselves as well as discover other available hosts, e. 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. This password is what you will need when connecting to your wireless signal for the first time. Enter a password for your router. This password is needed when you want to log into the router configuration setup page.
Note : This is not your wireless password Select your Time Zone. A summary of your wireless settings is displayed. This includes your wireless network name and your wireless password. Click Save. The router will now reboot to apply your new settings and the setup is complete.
