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 WAN 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.
D-Link DIR-300 User Manual
Section 2 - Installation
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.

Section 2 - Installation
Connect to Cable/DSL/Satellite Modem
If you are connecting the router to a cable/DSL/satellite modem, please follow the steps below:
1. Place the router in an open and central location. Do not plug the power adapter into the router.
2. Turn the power off on your modem. If there is no on/off switch, then unplug the modem’s power adapter. Shut down
your computer.
3. Unplug the Ethernet cable (that connects your computer to your modem) from your computer and place it into the
WAN port on the router.
4. Plug an Ethernet cable into one of the four LAN ports on the router. Plug the other end into the Ethernet port on
your computer.
5. Turn on or plug in your modem. Wait for the modem to boot (about 30 seconds).
6. Plug the power adapter to the router and connect to an outlet or power strip. Wait about 30 seconds for the router
to boot.
7. Turn on your computer.
8. Verify the link lights on the router. The power light, WAN light, and the LAN light (the port that your computer is
plugged into) should be lit. If not, make sure your computer, modem, and router are powered on and verify the cable
connections are correct.
9. Skip to page 14 to configure your router.

Firewall Settings
This section will allow you to setup a DMZ host and to enable VPN passthrough.
If you have a client PC that cannot run Internet applications properly from behind the DIR-300, then you can set the
client up for unrestricted Internet access. It allows a computer to be exposed to the Internet. This feature is useful for
gaming purposes. Enter the IP address of the internal computer that will be the DMZ host. Adding a client to the DMZ
(Demilitarized Zone) may expose your local network to a variety of security risks, so only use this option as a last
resort.

Advanced Wireless Settings
TX Rate: Select the basic transfer rates based on the speed of
wireless adapters on your wireless network. It is strongly
recommended to keep this setting to Auto.
Transmit Power: Set the transmit power of the antennas.
Beacon Interval: 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.
Preamble Type: Select Short or Long Preamble. The Preamble defines the length of the CRC block (Cyclic Redundancy Check is a common
technique for detecting data transmission errors) for communication between the wireless router and the roaming wireless
network adapters. Auto is the default setting. Note: High network traffic areas should use the shorter preamble type.
CTS Mode: CTS (Clear To Send) is a function used to minimize collisions among wireless devices on a wireless local area network
(LAN). CTS will make sure the wireless network is clear before a wireless client attempts to send wireless data. Enabling
CTS will add overhead and may lower wireless through put. None: CTS is typically used in a pure 802.11g environment. If
CTS is set to “None” in a mixed mode environment populated by 802.11b clients, wireless collisions may occur frequently.
Always: CTS will always be used to make sure the wireless LAN is clear before sending data. Auto: CTS will monitor the
wireless network and automatically decide whether to implement CTS based on the amount of traffic and collisions that
occurs on the wireless network.
WMM Function: WMM is QoS for your wireless network. Enable this option to improve the quality of video and voice applications for your
wireless clients.
