Section 1 - Product Overview
• Faster Wireless Networking - The DIR-600 provides up to 150Mbps.* This capability allows users to
participate in real-time activities online, such as video streaming, online gaming, and real-time audio.
• Compatible with 802.11g Devices - The DIR-600 is still fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11g standard,
so it can connect with existing 802.11g PCI, USB and Cardbus adapters.
• Advanced Firewall Features - The Web-based user interface displays a number of advanced network
management features including:
•Content Filtering - Easily applied content filtering based on MAC Address, URL, and/or
Domain Name.
•Filter Scheduling - These filters can be scheduled to be active on certain days or for a
duration of hours or minutes.
•Secure Multiple/Concurrent Sessions - The DIR-600 can pass through VPN sessions. It
supports multiple and concurrent IPSec and PPTP sessions, so users behind the DIR-600
can securely access corporate networks.
• User-friendly Setup Wizard - Through its easy-to-use Web-based user interface, the DIR-600 lets you
control what information is accessible to those on the wireless network, whether from the Internet or from
your company’s server. Configure your router to your specific settings within minutes.
* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g and Draft 802.11n specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and
environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental
conditions will adversely affect wireless signal range.

Section 2 - Installation
Before you Begin
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.
• Please configure the router with the computer that was last connected directly to your modem.
• 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.
• When running the Setup Wizard from the D-Link CD, make sure the computer you are running the CD
from is connected to the Internet and online or the wizard will not work. If you have disconnected any
hardware, re-connect your computer back to the modem and make sure you are online.
Installation

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
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
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. Turn on your computer.
8. Verify the link lights on the router. The power light, Internet 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 12 to configure your router.
Connect to Cable/DSL/Satellite Modem
10D-Link DIR-600 User Manual
Section 2 - Installation
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 Log In 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.
Connect to Another Router

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The DIR-600 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-600. 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.

Section 3 - Configuration
The DIR-600 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-600 firewall feature filters out unrecognized packets to
protect your LAN network so all computers networked with the
DIR-600 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-600 redirects the external service request to the appropriate
server within the LAN network.
The DIR-600 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.

SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection, also known as dynamic packet
filtering) helps to prevent cyber attacks by tracking more state per
session. It validates that the traffic passing through the session
conforms to the protocol.
Select one of the following for TCP and UDP ports:
Endpoint Independent - Any incoming traffic sent to an open port
will be forwarded to the application that opened the port. The port
will close if idle for 5 minutes.
Address Restricted - Incoming traffic must match the IP address
of the outgoing connection.
Address + Port Restriction - Incoming traffic must match the IP
address and port of the outgoing connection.
Enable this option to provide protection from certain kinds of
“spoofing” attacks.
If an application has trouble working from behind the router, you
can expose one computer to the Internet and run the application
on that computer.
Note: Placing a computer in the DMZ may expose that computer to a variety of security risks. Use of this option is only
recommended as a last resort.
Specify the IP address of the computer on the LAN that you want to have unrestricted Internet communication. If this
computer obtains its IP address automatically using DHCP, be sure to make a static reservation on the System > Network
Settings page so that the IP address of the DMZ machine does not change.

Wireless Security
This section will show you the different levels of security you can use to protect your data from intruders. The DIR-600
offers the following types of security:
• WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) • WPA2-PSK(Pre-Shared Key)
• WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) • WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
What is WPA?
WPA, or Wi-Fi Protected Access, is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve the security features of WEP (Wired
Equivalent Privacy).
The 2 major improvements over WEP:
• Improved data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP scrambles the keys
using a hashing algorithm and, by adding an integrity-checking feature, ensures that the keys haven’t
been tampered with. WPA2 is based on 802.11i and uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) instead
of TKIP.
• User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, through the extensible authentication protocol
(EAP). WEP regulates access to a wireless network based on a computer’s hardware-specific MAC
address, which is relatively simple to be sniffed out and stolen. EAP is built on a more secure public-key
encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK uses a passphrase or key to authenticate your wireless connection. The key is an alpha-numeric
password between 8 and 63 characters long. The password can include symbols (!?*&_) and spaces. This key must
be the exact same key entered on your wireless router or access point.
WPA/WPA2 incorporates user authentication through the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). EAP is built on a
more secure public key encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network.

Troubleshooting
This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DIR-600. Read
the following descriptions if you are having problems. (The examples below are illustrated in Windows® XP. If you have
a different operating system, the screen shots on your computer will look similar to the following examples.)
1.Why can’t I access the web-based configuration utility?
When entering the IP address of the D-Link router (192.168.0.1 for example), you are not connecting to a website on
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.
• Make sure you have an updated Java-enabled web browser. We recommend the following:
• Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher
• Netscape 8 or higher
• Mozilla 1.7.12 (5.0) or higher
• Opera 8.5 or higher
• Safari 1.2 or higher (with Java 1.3.1 or higher)
• Camino 0.8.4 or higher
• Firefox 1.5 or higher
• 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.
• Disable any Internet security software running on the computer. Software firewalls such as Zone Alarm, Black Ice,
Sygate, Norton Personal Firewall, and Windows® XP firewall may block access to the configuration pages. Check the
help files included with your firewall software for more information on disabling or configuring it.
95D-Link DIR-600 User Manual
Section 6 - Troubleshooting
• Configure your Internet settings:
• Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel. Double-click the Internet Options Icon. From the Security tab,
click the button to restore the settings to their defaults.
• Click the Connection tab and set the dial-up option to Never Dial a Connection. Click the LAN Settings
button. Make sure nothing is checked. Click OK.
• Go to the Advanced tab and click the button to restore these settings to their defaults. Click OK three
times.
• Close your web browser (if open) and open it.
• Access the web management. Open your web browser and enter the IP address of your D-Link router in the address
bar. This should open the login page for your the web management.
• If you still cannot access the configuration, unplug the power to the router for 10 seconds and plug back in. Wait
about 30 seconds and try accessing the configuration. If you have multiple computers, try connecting using a different
computer.
2.What can I do if I forgot my password?
If you forgot your password, you must reset your router. Unfortunately this process will change all your settings back
to the factory defaults.
To reset the router, locate the reset button (hole) on the rear panel of the unit. With the router powered on, use a
paperclip to hold the button down for 10 seconds. Release the button and the router will go through its reboot process.
Wait about 30 seconds to access the router. The default IP address is 192.168.0.1. When logging in, the username is
admin and leave the password box empty.

3.Why can’t I connect to certain sites or send and receive e-mails when connecting through my router?
If you are having a problem sending or receiving e-mail, or connecting to secure sites such as eBay, banking sites, and
Hotmail, we suggest lowering the MTU in increments of ten (Ex. 1492, 1482, 1472, etc).
Note: AOL DSL+ users must use MTU of 1400.
To find the proper MTU Size, you’ll have to do a special ping of the destination you’re trying to go to. A destination could
be another computer, or a URL.
• Click on Start and then click Run.
• Windows® 95, 98, and Me users type in command (Windows® NT, 2000, and XP users type in cmd) and
press Enter (or click OK).
• Once the window opens, you’ll need to do a special ping. Use the following syntax:
ping [url] [-f] [-l] [MTU value]
Example: ping yahoo.com -f -l 1472
