Troubleshooting
This Chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and 
operation of the DI-524UP Wireless Broadband Router. We cover various aspects of 
the network setup, including the network adapters. Please read the following if you are 
having problems.
Note: If you have 
changed the default IP 
Address, make sure to 
ping the correct IP Ad-
dress assigned to the 
DI-524UP.
Note:  It is recommended that you use an Ethernet connection to 
configure the DI-524UP Wireless Broadband Router.
1. The computer used to configure the DI-524UP cannot access 
the  
   Configuration menu.
 Check that the Ethernet LED on the DI-524UP is ON. If the LED is 
not ON, check that the cable for the Ethernet connection is securely 
inserted.
 Check that the Ethernet Adapter is working properly.  Please see 
item 3  (Check that the drivers for the network adapters are 
installed properly) in this Troubleshooting section to check that 
the drivers are loaded properly.
 Check that the IP Address is in the same range and subnet as the 
DI-524UP.  Please see Checking the IP Address in Windows XP 
in the Networking Basics section of this manual.
Note:  The IP Address of the DI-524UP is 192.168.0.1.  All the computers on the 
network must have a unique IP Address in the same range, e.g., 192.168.0.x.  
Any computers that have identical IP Addresses will not be visible on the 
network.  They must all have the same subnet mask, e.g., 255.255.255.0
 Do a Ping test to make sure that the DI-524UP is responding.  Go to 
Start>Run>Type Command>Type ping 192.168.0.1.  A successful 
ping will show four replies.

2. The wireless client cannot access the Internet in the                      
    Infrastructure mode.
Make sure the wireless client is associated and joined with the correct Access 
Point. To check this connection:  Right-click on the Local Area Connection 
icon in the taskbar> select View Available Wireless Networks. The Connect to 
Wireless Network screen will appear.  Please make sure you have selected the 
correct available network, as shown in the illustrations below.
Troubleshooting
Check that the IP Address assigned to the wireless adapter is within 
the same IP Address range as the access point and gateway. (Since 
the  DI-524UP has an IP Address of 192.168.0.1, wireless adapters must 
have an IP Address in the same range, e.g., 192.168.0.x.  Each device 
must have a unique IP Address; no two devices may have the same IP 
Address. The subnet mask must be the same for all the computers on 
the network.) To check the IP Address assigned to the wireless adapter, 
double-click on the Local Area Connection icon in the taskbar > 
select the Support tab and the IP Address will be displayed. (Please 
refer to Checking the IP Address in the Networking Basics section of 
this manual.)
If it is necessary to assign a Static IP Address to the wireless adapter, 
please refer to the appropriate section in Networking Basics. If you 
are entering a DNS Server address you must also enter the Default 
Gateway Address. (Remember that if you have a DHCP-capable router, 
you will not need to assign a Static IP Address.  See  Networking 
Basics: Assigning a Static IP Address.)

Troubleshooting
4.  What variables may cause my wireless products 
     to lose reception?
D-Link products let you access your network from virtually anywhere you want.  However, 
the positioning of the products within your environment will affect the wireless range.  
Please refer to Installation Considerations in the Wireless Basics section of this 
manual for further information about the most advantageous placement of your D-Link 
wireless products.
5.  Why does my wireless connection keep dropping?
6.  Why can’t I get a wireless connection?
If you have enabled Encryption on the DI-524UP, you must also enable encryption on 
all wireless clients in order to establish a wireless connection.
Make sure that the SSID on the Router and the Wireless Client are exactly the 
same.  If they are not, wireless connection will not be established. 
For 802.11b, the Encryption settings are: 64, 128, or 256 bit.  Make sure that 
the encryption bit level is the same on the Router and the Wireless Client.
   
   
Move the DI-524UP and the wireless client into the same room and then test 
the wireless connection. 
 
Disable all security settings. (WEP, MAC Address Control)
 
Antenna Orientation- Try different antenna orientations for the DI-524UP.  Try 
to keep the antenna at least 6 inches away from the wall or other objects.
   
If  you  are  using  2.4GHz  cordless  phones,  X-10  equipment  or  other  home 
security systems, ceiling fans, and lights, your wireless connection will degrade 
dramatically or drop altogether.  Try changing the Channel on your Router, Access 
Point and Wireless adapter to a different Channel to avoid interference.
   
Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet) from electrical devices that generate 
RF noise, like microwaves, Monitors, electric motors, etc.

Troubleshooting
6.  Why can’t I get a wireless connection? (continued)
Turn off your DI-524UP and the client. Turn the DI-524UP back on again, and 
then turn on the client. 
 
Check that the LED indicators are indicating normal activity. If not, check that 
the AC power and Ethernet cables are firmly connected.
 
Make sure that all devices are set to Infrastructure mode. 
 
Check that the IP Address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS settings are cor-
rectly entered for the network. 
 
If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones, X-10 equipment or other home se-
curity systems, ceiling fans, and lights, your wireless connection will degrade 
dramatically or drop altogether. Try changing the Channel on your DI-524UP, 
and on all the devices in your network to avoid interference.
 
Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet) from electrical devices that generate

Frequently Asked Questions
When entering the IP Address of the DI-524UP  (192.168.0.1), you are not 
connecting to 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.  
To resolve difficulties accessing a  web utility, please follow the steps below.  
Step 1 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. 
The following connections require a Crossover Cable: 
Computer to Computer 
Computer to Uplink Port 
Computer to Access Point 
Computer to Print Server 
Computer/XBOX/PS2 to DWL-810 
Computer/XBOX/PS2 to DWL-900AP+ 
Uplink Port to Uplink Port (hub/switch) 
Normal Port to Normal Port (hub/switch) 
The following connections require a Straight-through Cable: 
Computer to Residential Gateway/Router 
Computer to Normal Port (hub/switch) 
Access Point to Normal Port (hub/switch) 
Print Server to Normal Port (hub/switch) 
Uplink Port to Normal Port (hub/switch) 
Rule of Thumb: 
”If there is a link light, the cable is right.”

Frequently Asked Questions (continued)
What type of cable should I be using? (continued)
What´s the difference between a crossover cable and a straight-through 
cable?  
The wiring in crossover and straight-through cables are different. The two 
types of cable have different purposes 
for different LAN configurations. EIA/TIA 
568A/568B define the wiring standards 
and allow for two different wiring color 
codes as illustrated in the following 
diagram. 
*The wires with colored backgrounds may 
have white stripes and may be denoted 
that way in diagrams found elsewhere.
How to tell straight-through cable from 
a crossover cable: 
The main way to tell the difference 
between the two cable types is to 
compare the wiring order on the ends 
of the cable. If the wiring is the same on 
both sides, it is straight-through cable. If one side has opposite wiring, it is a 
crossover cable.
All you need to remember to properly configure the cables is the pinout order of 
the two cable ends and the following rules: 
A straight-through cable has identical ends 
A crossover cable has different ends
It makes no functional difference which standard you follow for straight-through 
cable ends, as long as both ends are the same. You can start a crossover cable 
with either standard as long as the other end is the other standard. It makes no 
functional difference which end is which. The order in which you pin the cable 
is important. Using a pattern other than what is specified in the above diagram 
could cause connection problems.
When to use a crossover cable and when to use a straight-through cable: 
Computer to Computer – Crossover 
Computer to an normal port on a Hub/Switch – Straight-through 
Computer to an uplink port on a Hub/Switch - Crossover 
Hub/Switch uplink port to another Hub/Switch uplink port – Crossover 
Hub/Switch uplink port to another Hub/Switch normal port - Straight-through

Frequently Asked Questions (continued)
Can I use my D-Link Broadband Router to share my Internet connection 
provided by AOL DSL Plus?
In most cases yes. AOL DSL+ may use PPPoE for authentication bypassing the 
client software. If this is the case, then our routers will work with this service. Please 
contact AOL if you are not sure. 
To set up your router:  
Step 1 Log into the web-based configuration (192.168.0.1) and configure the WAN 
side to use PPPoE.  
Step 2 Enter your screen name followed by @aol.com for the user name. Enter 
your AOL password in the password box.  
Step 3 You will have to set the MTU to 1400. AOL DSL does not allow for anything 
higher than 1400.  
Step 4 Apply settings.  
Step 5 Recycle the power to the modem for 1 minute and then recycle power to the 
router. Allow 1 to 2 minutes to connect.  
If you connect to the Internet with a different internet service provider and want 
to use the AOL software, you can do that without configuring the router’s firewall 
settings. You need to configure the AOL software to connect using TCP/IP. 
Go to http://www.aol.com for more specific configuration information of their software.

Frequently Asked Questions (continued)
How do I open ports on my router?
To allow traffic from the internet to enter your local network, you will need to open up 
ports or the router will block the request.  
Step 1 Open your web 
browser and enter the IP 
Address of your D-Link router 
(192.168.0.1). Enter username 
(admin) and your password 
(blank by default).  
Step 2 Click on Advanced 
on top and then click Virtual 
Server on the left side.  
Step 3 Check Enabled to 
activate entry.  
Step 4 Enter a name for your virtual server entry.  
Step 5 Next to Private IP, enter the IP Address of the computer on your local 
network that you want to allow the incoming service to.  
Step 6 Choose Protocol Type - either TCP, UDP, or both. If you are not sure, select 
both.  
Step 7 Enter the port information next to Private Port and Public Port. The private 
and public ports are usually the same. The public port is the port seen from the WAN 
side, and the private port is the port being used by the application on the computer 
within your local network.  
Step 8 Enter the Schedule information.  
Step 9 Click Apply and then click Continue.  
Note: Make sure DMZ host is disabled. If DMZ is enabled, it will disable all Virtual 
Server entries.  
Because our routers use NAT (Network Address Translation), you can only open a 
specific port to one computer at a time. For example: If you have 2 web servers on 
your network, you cannot open port 80 to both computers. You will need to configure 
1 of the web servers to use port 81. Now you can open port 80 to the first computer 
and then open port 81 to the other computer.

Frequently Asked Questions (continued)
What is DMZ?
Demilitarized Zone:  
In computer networks, a DMZ (demilitarized zone) is a computer host or small 
network inserted as a neutral zone between a company´s private network and the 
outside public network. It prevents outside users from getting direct access to a 
server that has company data. (The term comes from the geographic buffer zone 
that was set up between North Korea and South Korea following the UN police action 
in the early 1950s.) A DMZ is an optional and more secure approach to a firewall and 
effectively acts as a proxy server as well.  
In a typical DMZ configuration for a small company, a separate computer (or host in 
network terms) receives requests from users within the private network for access 
to Web sites or other companies accessible on the public network. The DMZ host 
then initiates sessions for these requests on the public network. However, the DMZ 
host is not able to initiate a session back into the private network. It can only forward 
packets that have already been requested.  
Users of the public network outside the company can access only the DMZ host. The 
DMZ may typically also have the company´s Web pages so these could be served 
to the outside world. However, the DMZ provides access to no other company data. 
In the event that an outside user penetrated the DMZ hosts security, the Web pages 
might be corrupted but no other company information would be exposed. D-Link, a 
leading maker of routers, is one company that sells products designed for setting up 
a DMZ
How do I configure the DMZ Host?
The DMZ feature allows you to forward all incoming ports to one computer on the 
local network. The DMZ, or Demilitarized Zone, will allow the specified computer 
to be exposed to the Internet. DMZ is useful when a certain application or game 
does not work through the firewall. The computer that is configured for DMZ will be 
completely vulnerable on the Internet, so it is suggested that you try opening ports 
from the Virtual Server or Firewall settings before using DMZ. 
Step 1 Find the IP address of the computer you want to use as the DMZ host.  
To find out how to locate the IP Address of the computer in Windows XP/2000/ME/9x 
or Macintosh operating systems please refer to Step 4 of the first question in this 
section (Frequently Asked Questions).

Step 2 Log into the web based configuration 
of the router by typing in the IP Address 
of the router (default:192.168.0.1) in your 
web browser. The username is admin (all 
lowercase) and the password is blank 
(nothing)

Step 3 Click the Advanced tab and then click on the DMZ button. Select Enable 
and type in the IP Address you found in step 1. 
Step 4 Click Apply 
and then Continue to 
save the changes.  
Note: When DMZ is 
enabled, Virtual Server 
settings will still be 
effective. Remember, 
you cannot forward the 
same port to multiple 
IP Addresses, so the 
Virtual Server settings 
will take priority over 
DMZ settings.

with a range of IP Addresses.  
Step 6 Enter the port or range of ports that are required to be open for the incoming 
service.  
Step 7 Click Apply and then click Continue. 
Because our routers use NAT (Network Address Translation), you can only open a 
specific port to one computer at a time. For example: If you have 2 web servers on 
your network, you cannot open port 80 to both computers. You will need to configure 
1 of the web servers to use port 81. Now you can open port 80 to the first computer 
and then open port 81 to the other computer.  
Note: Make sure DMZ host is disabled.

What are virtual servers?
A Virtual Server is defined as a service port, and all requests to this port will be 
redirected to the computer specified by the server IP. For example, if you have an 
FTP Server (port 21) at 192.168.0.5, a Web server (port 80) at 192.168.0.6, and 
a VPN server at 192.168.0.7, then you need to specify the following virtual server 
mapping table:

Frequently Asked Questions (continued)
How do I use NetMeeting with my D-Link Router?
Unlike most TCP/IP applications, NetMeeting uses DYNAMIC PORTS instead of 
STATIC PORTS. That means that each NetMeeting connection is somewhat different 
than the last. For instance, the HTTP web site application uses port 80. NetMeeting 
can use any of over 60,000 different ports.  
All broadband routers using (only) standard NAT and all internet sharing programs 
like Microsoft ICS that use (only) standard NAT will NOT work with NetMeeting or 
other h.323 software packages.  
The solution is to put the router in DMZ.  
Note: A few hardware manufacturers have taken it on themselves to actually provide 
H.323 compatibility. This is not an easy task since the router must search each 
incoming packet for signs that it might be a netmeeting packet. This is a whole lot 
more work than a router normally does and may actually be a weak point in the 
firewall. D-Link is not one of the manufacturers.

How do I send or receive a file via iChat when the Mac OSX firewall is 
active? -for Macintosh users- Mac OS X 10.2 and later
“iChat cannot send or receive a file when the Mac OS X firewall is active in its default 
state. If you have opened the AIM port, you may be able to receive a file but not send 
them. 
In its default state, the Mac OS X firewall blocks file transfers using iChat or America 
Online AIM software. If either the sender or receiver has turned on the Mac OS X fire-
wall, the transfer may be blocked. 
The simplest workaround is to temporarily turn off the firewall in the Sharing preference 
pane on both computers. This is required for the sender. However, the receiver may 
keep the firewall on if the AIM port is open. To open the AIM port:
If you do not want to turn off the firewall at the sending computer, a different file sharing 
service may be used instead of iChat. The types of file sharing available in Mac OS X 
are outlined in technical document 106461, “Mac OS X: File Sharing” in the AppleCare 
Knowledge base online.
Note: If you use a file sharing service when the firewall is turned on, be sure to click 
the Firewall tab and select the service you have chosen in the “Allow” list. If you do not 
do this, the firewall will also block the file sharing service. “

What is NAT?
NAT stands for Network Address Translator. It is proposed and described in 
RFC-1631 and is used for solving the IP Address depletion problem. Basically, each 
NAT box has a table consisting of pairs of local IP Addresses and globally unique 
addresses, by which the box can “translate” the local IP Addresses to global address 
and vice versa. Simply put, it is a method of connecting multiple computers to the 
Internet (or any other IP network) using one IP Address.  
D-Link´s broadband routers (ie: DI-604) support NAT. With proper configuration, 
multiple users can access the Internet using a single account via the NAT device.
