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 Ethernet 300 from your computer or you will not be able to connect to the Internet.

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 16 to configure your router.

Section 2 - Installation
Connect to Another Router
If you are connecting the D-Link router to another router to use as a wireless access point and/or switch, you will have
to do the following before connecting the router to your network:
• Disable UPnP™
• Disable DHCP
• Change the LAN IP address to an available address on your network. The LAN ports on the router cannot
accept a DHCP address from your other router.
To connect to another router, please follow the steps below:
1. Plug the power into the router. Connect one of your computers to the router (LAN port) using an Ethernet cable.
Make sure your IP address on the computer is 192.168.0.xxx (where xxx is between 2 and 254). Please see the
Networking Basics section for more information. If you need to change the settings, write down your existing settings
before making any changes. In most cases, your computer should be set to receive an IP address automatically in
which case you will not have to do anything to your computer.
2. Open a web browser and enter http://192.168.0.1 and press Enter. When the login window appears, set the user
name to admin and leave the password box empty. Click OK to continue.
3. Click on Advanced and then click Advanced Network. Uncheck the Enable UPnP checkbox. Click Save Settings
to continue.
4. Click Setup and then click Network Settings. Uncheck the Enable DHCP Server server checkbox. Click Save
Settings to continue.
5. Under Router Settings, enter an available IP address and the subnet mask of your network. Click Save Settings to
save your settings. Use this new IP address to access the configuration utility of the router in the future. Close the
browser and change your computer’s IP settings back to the original values as in Step 1.

The DIR-300 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-300. 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.

your router to automatically determine the uplink
Measured speed of your Internet connection.
Uplink Speed:
The speed at which data can be transferred from
the router to your ISP. This is determined by your
ISP. ISP’s often speed as a download/upload
pair. For example, 1.5Mbits/284Kbits. Using this
example, you would enter 284. Alternatively you
can test your uplink speed with a service such
Connection as www.dslreports.com.
Type:
By default, the router automatically determines whether the underlying connection is an xDSL/Frame-relay
network or some other connection type (such as cable modem or Ethernet), and it displays the result as
Detected xDSL or Frame Relay Network. 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,
Detected but gives much better results.
xDSL:
When Connection Type is set to automatic, the automatically detected connection type is displayed here.

Advanced Wireless
This window allows you to change the behavior of the 802.11g wireless radio from the standard settings. Please be aware that
any changes to the factory default settings may adversely affect the behavior of your network.
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 2346. 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) 1 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.
802.11 Mode: Select one of the following:
Mixed 802.11g and 802.11b - Select if you are using both 802.11b and 802.11g wireless clients.
