DHCP Server Settings
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The router 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 DGL-4500. 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.

Virtual Server
The DGL-4500 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 DGL-4500 firewall feature filters out unrecognized packets to protect your LAN network so all computers networked
with the DGL-4500 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 DGL-4500 redirects the external
service request to the appropriate server within the LAN network.
The DGL-4500 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.

Section 3 - Configuration
If you have an unusual network connection in which you are actually connected via xDSL but for which you configure either
“Static” or “DHCP” in the Internet settings, setting this option to xDSL or Other Frame Relay Network ensures that the router
will recognize that it needs to shape traffic slightly differently in order to give the best performance. Choosing xDSL or Other
Frame Relay Network causes the measured uplink speed to be reported slightly lower than before on such connections, but
gives much better results.
Detected xDSL: When Connection Type is set to automatic, the automatically detected connection type is displayed here.

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 and video
Center: 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 behavior 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.

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 the
Security Settings: settings from being changed by the Wi-Fi Protected
Setup feature of the router. Devices can still be

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.

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
DGL-4500 offers the following types of security:
• WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) 		
• WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)			
• WPA2-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
• 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.
