5D-Link DIR-330 User ManualSection 2 - InstallationBefore you BeginInstallationThis 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. 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 Internet 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.
6D-Link DIR-330 User ManualSection 2 - InstallationWireless Installation ConsiderationsThe 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.
7D-Link DIR-330 User ManualSection 2 - InstallationIf 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 Internet 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.

28D-Link DIR-330 User ManualSection 3 - ConfigurationThe DIR-330 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 DIR-330 firewall feature filters out unrecognized packets to protect your LAN network so all computers networked with the DIR-330 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 DIR-330 redirects the external service request to the appropriate server within the LAN network. The DIR-330 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.For a list of ports for common applications, please visit http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod_id=1191.Virtual Server
