Section 2 - Installation
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.
Before you Begin

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 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.

Wireless Installation Considerations

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.
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 difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative effect 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
(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
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.

Getting Started
The DIR-652 includes a Quick Router Setup Wizard CD. Follow the simple steps below to run the Setup Wizard to
guide you quickly through the installation process.
Insert the included CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. The step-by-step instructions that follow are shown in Windows®
XP. The steps and screens are similar for the other Windows operating systems.
If the CD Autorun function does not automatically start on your computer, go to Start > Run.... In the run box type
“D:\D-Link.exe” (where D: represents the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive).
When the autorun screen appears, click on the Start button.

DHCP Server Settings

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The DIR-652 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 DIR-652. 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.

Revoke: Click Revoke to cancel the lease for a specific

LAN device and free an entry in the lease table.
Do this only if the device no longer needs the
leased IP address, because, for example, it has
been removed from the network.

Note: The Revoke option will not disconnect a PC with a current network session from the network; you would need to use MAC Address
Filter to do that. Revoke will only free up a DHCP Address for the very next requester. If the previous owner is still available, those two
devices may both receive an IP Address Conflict error, or the second device may still not receive an IP Address; in that case, you may still
need to extend the “DHCP IP Address Range” to address the issue, it is located in the DHCP Server section.
Reserve: The Reserve option converts this dynamic IP allocation into a DHCP Reservation and adds the corresponding entry to the
DHCP Reservations List.

Virtual Server
The DIR-652 can be configured as a virtual server so that remote users accessing Web or FTP services via the public IP address can be
automatically redirected to local servers in the LAN (Local Area Network).
The DIR-652 firewall feature filters out unrecognized packets to protect your LAN network so all computers networked with the DIR-652
are invisible to the outside world. If you wish, you can make some of the LAN computers accessible from the Internet by enabling Virtual
Server. Depending on the requested service, the DIR-652 redirects the external service request to the appropriate server within the LAN
network.
The DIR-652 is also capable of port-redirection meaning incoming traffic to a particular port may be redirected to a different port on the
server computer.
Each virtual service that is created will be listed at the bottom of the screen in the Virtual Servers List. There are
pre-defined virtual services already in the table. You may use them by enabling them and assigning the server IP to use that particular
virtual service.

Firewall Settings
A firewall protects your network from the outside world. The D-Link DIR-652 offers a firewall type functionality. The SPI feature helps
prevent cyber attacks. Sometimes you may want a computer exposed to the outside world for certain types of applications. If you choose
to expose a computer, you cam enable DMZ. DMZ is short for Demilitarized Zone. This option will expose the chosen computer completely
to the outside world.
Enable SPI: SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection, also known as

dynamic packet filtering) helps to prevent cyber
SPI
NAT Endpoint Filtering
DMZ
attacks by tracking more state per session. It

validates that the traffic passing through the
session conforms to the protocol.
NAT Endpoint Select one of the following for TCP and UDP ports:
Filtering:
Endpoint Independent - Any incoming traffic
sent to an open port will be forwarded to the
application that opened the port. The port will
close if idle for 5 minutes.
Address Restricted - Incoming traffic must match

the IP address of the outgoing connection.
Address + Port Restriction - Incoming traffic must

match the IP address and port of the outgoing
connection.

Enable DMZ Host: If an application has trouble working from

behind the router, you can expose one
computer to the Internet and run the application
on that computer.
Note: Placing a computer in the DMZ may expose

that computer to a variety of security risks. Use of
this option is only recommended as a last resort.
IP Address: Specify the IP address of the computer on the SPI

Routing
The Routing option is an advanced method of customizing specific routes of data through your network.
Destination IP: Enter the IP address of packets that will take

this route.
Netmask: Enter the netmask of the route, please note

that the octets must match your destination
IP address.
Gateway: Enter your next hop gateway to be taken if

this route is used.
Metric: The route metric is a value from 1 to 16 that

indicates the cost of using this route. A value 1
is the lowest cost and 15 is the highest cost.
Interface: Select the interface that the IP packet must

use to transit out of the router when this route
is used.

Advanced Wireless Settings

Transmit Power
Mode
Transmit Power: Set the transmit power of the antennas.
Beacon Period: Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point

to synchronize a wireless network. Specify
a value. 100 is the default setting and is
recommended.
RTS Threshold: This value should remain at its default setting

of 2432. If inconsistent data flow is a problem,
only a minor modification should be made.
Fragmentation: 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.
DTIM Interval: (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.
WLAN Partition: Enable this option to prevent associated wireless

clients from communicating with each other.
WMM Function: WMM is QoS for your wireless network. This

will improve the quality of video and voice
applications for your wireless clients.
Short GI: Check this box to reduce the guard interval

time therefore increasing the data capacity.
However, it’s less reliable and may create higher
data loss.

WISH Settings
WISH is short for Wireless Intelligent Stream Handling, a technology developed to enhance your experience of using a wireless network
by prioritizing the traffic of different applications.
Enable WISH: Enable this option if you want to allow WISH to

prioritize your traffic.
HTTP: Allows the router to recognize HTTP transfers

for many common audio and video streams
and prioritize them above other traffic. Such
streams are frequently used by digital media
players.
Windows Media Enables the router to recognize certain audio

Center: and video streams generated by a Windows
Media Center PC and to prioritize these above
other traffic. Such streams are used by systems
known as Windows Media Extenders, such as
the Xbox 360.
Automatic: When enabled, this option causes the router to

automatically attempt to prioritize traffic streams
that it doesn’t otherwise recognize, based on
the behaviour that the streams exhibit. This
acts to deprioritize streams that exhibit bulk
transfer characteristics, such as file transfers,
while leaving interactive traffic, such as gaming
or VoIP, running at a normal priority.

WISH Rules: A WISH Rule identifies a specific message flow

and assigns a priority to that flow. For most
applications, the priority classifiers ensure the
right priorities and specific WISH Rules are not
required.
WISH supports overlaps between rules. If more

than one rule matches for a specific message
flow, the rule with the highest priority will be
used.
Name: Create a name for the rule that is meaningful

to you.
Priority: The priority of the message flow is entered

here. The four priorities are defined as:
BK: Background (least urgent)

BE: Best Effort.
VI: Video
VO: Voice (most urgent)
Protocol: The protocol used by the messages.
Host IP Range: The rule applies to a flow of messages for

which one computer’s IP address falls within
the range set here.
Host Port Range: The rule applies to a flow of messages for

which host’s port number is within the range
set here.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) System is a simplified method for securing your wireless network during the “Initial setup” as well as the
“Add New Device” processes. The Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) has certified it across different products as well as manufactures. The process is
just as easy, as depressing a button for the Push-Button Method or correctly entering the 8-digit code for the PIN code Method. The time
reduction in setup and ease of use are quite beneficial, while the highest wireless Security setting of WPA2 is automatically used.
Enable: Enable the Wi-Fi Protected Setup feature.
Lock Wireless Locking the wireless security settings prevents

Security Settings: the settings from being changed by the Wi-Fi
Protected Setup feature of the router. Devices
can still be added to the network using Wi-Fi
Protected Setup. However, the settings of the
network will not change once this option is
checked.
PIN Settings: A PIN is a unique number that can be used

to add the router to an existing network or to
create a new network. The default PIN may be
printed on the bottom of the router. For extra
security, a new PIN can be generated. You can
restore the default PIN at any time. Only the
Administrator (“admin” account) can change or
reset the PIN.
Current PIN: Shows the current value of the router’s PIN.
Generate New PIN: Creates a random number that is a valid PIN.

This becomes the router’s PIN. You can then
use this PIN when creating a connection using
the WPS-PIN method.
Reset PIN to Restores the default PIN of the router.

Add Wireless This Wizard helps you add wireless devices to

Station: the wireless network.
The wizard will either display the wireless

network settings to guide you through manual
configuration, prompt you to enter the PIN for
the device, or ask you to press the configuration
button on the device. If the device supports
Wi-Fi Protected Setup and has a configuration
button, you can add it to the network by pressing
the configuration button on the device and
then the on the router within 60 seconds. The
status LED on the router will flash three times
if the device has been successfully added to
the network.
There are several ways to add a wireless

device to your network. A “registrar” controls
access to the wireless network. A registrar only
allows devices onto the wireless network if you
have entered the PIN, or pressed a special
Wi-Fi Protected Setup button on the device.
The router acts as a registrar for the network,
although other devices may act as a registrar
as well.

Section 4 - Security
Wireless Security
This section will show you the different levels of security you can use to protect your data from intruders. The
DIR-652 offers 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 2 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-specific MAC
address, which is relatively simple to be sniffed 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.

Wireless Security Setup Wizard
To run the security wizard, click on Setup at the top and then click Launch

Section 6 - Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
1. Why can’t I access the web-based configuration 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 6.0 or higher

• Netscape 8 or higher
• Mozilla 1.7.12 (5.0) or higher
• Opera 8.5 or higher
• Safari 1.2 or higher (with Java 1.3.1 or higher)
• Camino 0.8.4 or higher
• Firefox 1.5 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 different cable or connect to a different port on the device if possible. If the computer is turned off, the link light may
not be on.
• Disable any internet security software running on the computer. Software firewalls such as Zone Alarm, Black Ice,
Sygate, Norton Personal Firewall, and Windows® XP firewall may block access to the configuration pages. Check the
help files included with your firewall software for more information on disabling or configuring it.

• Configure 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 configuration, unplug the power to the router for 10 seconds and plug back in. Wait
about 30 seconds and try accessing the configuration. If you have multiple computers, try connecting using a different
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.

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 find 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, XP and Vista® 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

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,
lets 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 find your MTU, you can now configure 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 configuration
page for the device.
• Click on Setup and then click Manual Configure.
• To change the MTU enter the number in the MTU field and click Save Settings to save your settings.
• Test your e-mail. If changing the MTU does not resolve the problem, continue changing the MTU in
increments of ten.

Appendix A - Wireless Basics
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 office environments, and public areas such
as airports, coffee shops and universities. Innovative ways to utilize WLAN technology are helping people to work and
communicate more efficiently. Increased mobility and the absence of cabling and other fixed infrastructure have proven
to be beneficial 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.

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 office 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 afford. 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 different 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.
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 as become so popular in recent years that almost everyone is using it, whether it’s for home,
office, 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 Office and Home Office

• Stay on top of everything at home as you would at office
• Remotely access your office network from home
• Share Internet connection and printer with multiple computers
• No need to dedicate office space

Where is wireless used?

Wireless technology is expanding everywhere not just at home or office. 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, Coffee Shops, Libraries, Restaurants, and Convention Centers.
Wireless network is easy to setup, but if you’re installing it for the first 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.
Eliminate Interference
Place home appliances such as cordless telephones, microwaves, and televisions as far away as possible from the
router/access point. This would significantly reduce any interference that the appliances might cause since they operate
on same frequency.
Security
Don’t let you 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.

Wireless Modes
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, such as two or more DIR-652 wireless network Cardbus adapters.
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.

Appendix B - Networking Basics
Networking Basics
Check your IP address
After you install your new D-Link adapter, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from
a DHCP server (i.e. wireless router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below.
Click on Start > Run. In the run box type cmd and click OK. (Windows Vista® users type cmd in the Start Search box.)
At the prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter.
This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and the default gateway of your adapter.
If the address is 0.0.0.0, check your adapter

installation, security settings, and the settings
on your router. Some firewall software programs
may block a DHCP request on newly installed
adapters.
If you are connecting to a wireless network at a

hotspot (e.g. hotel, coffee shop, airport), please
contact an employee or administrator to verify their
wireless network settings.

Appendix B - Networking Basics
Statically Assign an IP address

If you are not using a DHCP capable gateway/router, or you need to assign a static IP address, please follow the steps
below:
Step 1
Windows Vista®: Click on Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Manage Network
Connections.
Windows® XP: Click on Start > Control Panel > Network Connections.
Windows® 2000: From the desktop, right-click My Network Places > Properties.
Step 2
Right-click on the Local Area Connection which represents your D-Link network adapter and select Properties.
Step 3
Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties.
Step 4
Click Use the following IP address and enter an IP address that is on the same subnet as your network or the LAN IP
address on your router.
Example: If the router´s LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1, make your IP address

192.168.0.X where X is a number between 2 and 99. Make sure that the number
you choose is not in use on the network. Set Default Gateway the same as the LAN
IP address of your router (192.168.0.1).
Set Primary DNS the same as the LAN IP address of your router (192.168.0.1). The
Secondary DNS is not needed or you may enter a DNS server from your ISP.
Step 5
Click OK twice to save your settings.
