1IntroductionThe D-Link DI-524UP Wireless Router is an 802.11b/g high-performance, wirelessrouter that supports high-speed wireless networking at home, at work or in publicplaces.The 802.11g standard is backwards compatible with 802.11b products. This means thatyou do not need to change your entire network to maintain connectivity. You maysacrifice some of 802.11g¡ƒs speed when ou mix 802.11b and 802.11g devices, but youwill not lose the ability to communicate when you incorporate the 802.11g standard intoyour 802.11b network. You may choose to slowly change your network by graduallyreplacing the 802.11b devices with 802.11g devices.In addition to offering faster data transfer speeds when used with other 802.11gproducts, the DI-524UP has the newest, strongest, most advanced security featuresavailable today. When used with other 802.11g WPA or WPA2 (WiFi Protected Access)and 802.1x compatible products in a network with a RADIUS server, the securityfeatures include:• WPA Wi-Fi Protected Access authorizes and identifies users based on a secretkey that changes automatically at a regular interval. WPA uses TKIP (TemporalKey Integrity Protocol) to change the temporal key every 10,000 packets (a packetis a kind of message transmitted over a network.) This insures much greatersecurity than the standard WEP security. (By contrast, the older WEP encryptionrequired the keys to be changed manually.)• WPA2, based on the IEEE 802.1i Wi-Fi certified standard, goes a level beyondthe previous WPA by enhancing security with a new encryption code.Employing AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), and yet still backwardscompatible with WPA, WPA2 utilizes 802.1X and EAP (ExtensibleAuthentication Protocol) to verify users on the wireless network using aPre-Shared Key. Once all users on the LAN have been authenticated, there canbe a securely encrypted flow of information between all parties on the LAN.For home users that will not incorporate a RADIUS server in their network, the security forthe DI-524UP, used in conjunction with other 802.11g products, will still be muchstronger than ever before. Utilizing the Pre Shared Key mode of WPA, the DI-524UP willobtain a new security key every time it connects to the 802.11g network. You only needto input your encryption information once in the configuration menu. No longer will youhave to manually input a new WEP key frequently to ensure security, with the DI-524UP,you will automatically receive a new key every time you connect, vastly increasing thesafety of your communications.The DI-524UP also comes equipped with one USB 1.1 port on the rear panel thatsupports printer sharing.
2ConnectionsUSB 1.1 ConnectionUse this port toconnect your USBprinter.All Ethernet Ports (WAN and LAN) are auto MDI/MDIX, meaningyou canuse either a straight-through or a crossover Ethernet cable.Auto MDI/MDIX LAN PortsConnect the Ethernetcable from computers onyour LAN to these ports.WAN PortConnect the Ethernetcable from your ADSLmodem to this port.Factory Reset ButtonPressing this buttonwill restore the routerto its factory defaultsettings.Power AdapterConnect your5V 2.5A poweradapter here.

6Wireless BasicsD-Link wireless products are based on industry standards to provide easy-to-use andcompatible high-speed wireless connectivity within your home, business or publicaccess wireless networks. D-Link wireless products will allow you access to the datayou want, when and where you want it. You will be able to enjoy the freedom thatwireless networking brings.A WLAN is a cellular computer network that transmits and receives data with radio signalsinstead of wires. WLANs are used increasingly in both home and office environments, andpublic areas such as airports, coffee shops and universities. Innovative ways to utilizeWLAN technology are helping people to work and communicate more efficiently.Increased mobility and the absence of cabling and other fixed infrastructure have proven tobe beneficial for many users.Wireless users can use the same applications they use on a wired network. Wirelessadapter cards used on laptop and desktop systems support the same protocols asEthernet adapter cards.People use wireless LAN technology for many different purposes:Mobility -Productivity increases when people have access to data in any locationwithin the operating range of the WLAN. Management decisions based on real-timeinformation can significantly improve worker efficiency.Low Implementation Costs WLANs are easy to set up, manage, change andrelocate. Networks that frequently change can benefit from WLANs ease ofimplementation. WLANs can operate in locations where installation of wiring may beimpractical.Installation and Network Expansion -Installing a WLAN system can be fast andeasy and can eliminate the need to pull cable through walls and ceilings. Wirelesstechnology allows the network to go where wires cannot go - even outside the home oroffice.Scalability WLANs can be configured in a variety of topologies to meet the needsof specific applications and installations. Configurations are easily changed and rangefrom peer-to-peer networks suitable for a small number of users to larger infrastructurenetworks to accommodate hundreds or thousands of users, depending on the number ofwireless devices deployed.Inexpensive Solution -Wireless network devices are as competitively priced asconventional Ethernet network devices.
7Standards-Based TechnologyThe DI-524UP Wireless Router utilizes the new 802.11g standard.The IEEE 802.11g standard is an extension of the 802.11b standard. It increases thedata rate up to 54 Mbps within the 2.4GHz band, utilizing OFDM technology.This means that in most environments, within the specified range of this device, you willbe able to transfer large files quickly or even watch a movie in MPEG format over yournetwork without noticeable delays. This technology works by transmitting high speeddigital data over a radio wave utilizing OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency DivisionMultiplexing) technology. OFDM works by splitting the radio signal into multiple smallersub-signals that are then transmitted simultaneously at different frequencies to thereceiver. OFDM reduces the amount of crosstalk (interference) in signal transmissions.The DI-524UP is backwards compatible with 802.11 b devices. This means that if youhave an existing 802.11 b network, the devices in that network will be compatible with802.11g devices at speeds of up to 11 Mbps in the 2.4GHz range.Installation ConsiderationsThe D-Link DI-524UP lets you access your network, using a wireless connection, fromvirtually anywhere within its operating range. Keep in mind, however, that the number,thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals mustpass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types ofmaterials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. Thekey to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DI-524UP and othernetwork devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your D-Linkwireless product¡ƒs r angefr o m-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices sothat 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 a2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick! Position devices so thatthe signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) forbetter reception.3. Building Materials can impede the wireless signal - a solid metal door oraluminum studs may have a negative effect on range. Try to position wirelessdevices and computers with wireless adapters so that the signal passesthrough drywall or open doorways and not other materials.4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electricaldevices or appliances that generate extreme RF noise.

A packet filter system examines data packets and scrutinizesthem in order to control network access. Filtering rules determine whether packets arepassed through the Router from either side of the gateway. The rules are created andcontrolled by the network administrator and can be precisely defined. These rules areused to block access to the LAN from outside the network and/or to deny access to theWAN from within the network. The Router uses filtering rules to examine data packetheaders for specific information. Packets passing through the Router that do not meetthe criteria specified by the rule set are dropped.
30Effective implementation of packet filtering requires detailed knowledge of networkservices and communication protocols. An overly complicated filtering scheme canadversely affect the Router¡ƒs perf or mance,whil e an i nadequate setofrules mayneedlessly compromise security.This Router has two fields to configure for filtering which are IP Filters and MAC Filters.Advanced > Filters > IP FiltersIP Filters Choose whether to enable or disable this configuration for IPfiltering.IP Address An IP address or range of IP addresses that will be deniedaccess to the Internet.Port A port or range of ports that will be denied access to theInternet.

34Advanced > Parental Control > Domain BlockingDomain blocking is a method of denying or allowing computers on the LAN access tospecific domains on the Internet. There are two available methods available to the userto institute Domain blocking on the router. Under the Domain Blocking header in thescreen pictured above, the user has three choices, one of which is to disable Domainblocking. The second choice is Allow users to access all domains except ¡ § Bl ockedDomainsi . This option is for users who wish to block certain domains from beingaccessed by local users on the LAN, but leave the rest open for use. To specify whichDomains you wish to exclude from use by computers on the LAN, enter the Domain¡ƒsURL (ex. yahoo.com, google.com) into the Blocked Domains field and then click Apply.The blocked entry will appear in the Blocked Domains List at the bottom of the screen.To modify an entry in this list, click its corresponding edit icon. To delete an entry fromthis list, click its corresponding delete icon.For users wishing to allow computers on the LAN access to only specified domains,choose option three under the Domain Blocking heading, Deny users to access alldomains except ¡ § Per mitt ed Do mains. To specify which domains you wish to includefor this option, enter the Domain¡ƒs URL( ex. yahoo.com, google.com)i ntothePermittedDomains field and then click Apply. The permitted entry will appear in the PermittedDomains List at the bottom of the window. To modify an entry in this list, click itscorresponding edit icon. To delete an entry from this list, click its corresponding delete
35icon.NOTE: Choosing the Deny users to access all domains except ¡ § Per mitt edDomains¡ ¤option will block access to all other Internet traffic except the Domainsspecified. Be careful not to misuse this option or users on the LAN will have difficultyaccessing network resources.Advanced > FirewallThis Router comes equipped with a firewall. The Firewall configuration screen allowsthe Router to enforce specific predefined policies intended to protect against certaincommon types of attacks. To configure the Router¡ƒs fir e wall, cli ck t heAdvanced tab atthe top of the screen and then the Firewall tab to the left.

Users mayconfigure only specific traffic to pass through the router bychecking Allow or users may stop specific traffic from passingthrough the Router by checking Deny.Source Enter the IP address or range of IP addresses that you wish toblock or allow to pass through the router. The Source may beidentified on the LAN side, the WAN side or both by using thepull-down menu for the Interface heading.Dest Enter the IP address or range of IP addresses that you wish todeny or allow access to the Internet. The Destination may beidentified on the LAN side, the WAN side or Both by using thepull-down menu for the Interface heading. The type of protocolmay also be chosen by using the pull-down menu. The usermay choose between TCP,UDP, ICMP or (*) Any. The usermay also select a range of ports of the destination IP addressesby entering the range under the Port Range heading.Schedule Clicking Always will set the firewall permanently, unlesschanged by the user. Alternately, the user may set up a timeschedule to implement the firewall, on a week-to-week basis byclicking the From radio button and setting the appropriate timesto begin and end the firewall function.
37Advanced > DMZFirewalls may conflict with certain interactive applications such as video conferencing orplaying Internet video games. For these applications, a firewall bypass can be set upusing a DMZ IP address. The DMZ IP address is a ¡§visibl e¡ ¤ addr ess and does nobenefit from the full protection of the firewall function. Therefore it is advisable that othersecurity precautions be enabled to protect the other computers and devices on the LAN.It may be wise to use isolate the device with the DMZ IP address from the rest of theLAN.For example, if you want to use video conferencing and still use a firewall, you can usethe DMZ IP address function. In this case, you must have a PC or server through whichvideo conferencing will take place. The IP address of this PC or server will then be theDMZ IP address. You can designate the server¡ƒsI P addr ess ast he DMZ byt ypingintheIP address in the IP Address space provided and then enabling its status by clickingthe Enabled radio button and then click Apply.For the system that uses the DMZ IP address, you may want to manually assign an IP
38address to it and adjust your DHCP server addresses so that the DMZ IP address is notincluded in the DHCP server range. This way you avoid possible IP address problems ifyou reboot the DMZ system. To configure the Router¡ƒs DMZ I P addr ess, cli ck t heAdvanced tab at the top of the window and then the DMZ tabtotheleft.Advanced > DDNSThe DI-524UP supports Dynamic Domain Name Service. Dynamic DNS allows adynamic public IP address to be associated with a static host name in any of the manydomains, allowing access to a specific host from various locations on the Internet. Withthis function enabled, remote access to a host will be allowed by choosing a URL byusing the pull-down menu. Because many ISPs assign public IP addresses using DHCP,it can be difficult to locate a specific host on the LAN using the standard DNS. Forexample, if you are running a public web server or VPN server on your LAN, DDNSensures that the host can be located from the Internet if the public IP address changes.
39Note: DDNS requires that an account be setup with one of the supported DDNS serversprior to engaging it on the router. This function will not work without an acceptedaccount with a DDNS server.DDNS Click the Enabled button to enable the DDNS featureon the router.Server Address Choose the DDNS server address from the pull downmenu.
