• Compatible with 802.11b and 802.11g Devices - The DIR-615 is still fully compatible with the IEEE
802.11b standard, so it can connect with existing 802.11b 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-615 can pass through VPN sessions. It
supports multiple and concurrent IPSec and PPTP sessions, so users behind the DIR-615
can securely access corporate networks.
• User-friendly Setup Wizard - Through its easy-to-use Web-based user interface, the DIR-615 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
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 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.

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
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 14 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 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.

6. Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the router and reconnect your computer to your network.
7. Connect an Ethernet cable in one of the LAN ports of the router and connect it to your other router. Do not plug
anything into the Internet port of the D-Link router.
8. You may now use the other 3 LAN ports to connect other Ethernet devices and computers. To configure your wireless
network, open a web browser and enter the IP address you assigned to the router. Refer to the Configuration and
Wireless Security sections for more information on setting up your wireless network.

DHCP Server Settings
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The DIR-615 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-615. 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.
Enable DHCP Check this box to enable the DHCP server on
Server: your router. Uncheck to disable this function.
DHCP IP Address Enter the starting and ending IP addresses for
Range: the DHCP server’s IP assignment.
Note: If you statically (manually) assign IP
addresses to your computers or devices, make
sure the IP addresses are outside of this range
or you may have an IP conflict.
Lease Time: The length of time for the IP address lease. Enter the Lease time in minutes.
Always Broadcast: Enable this function to ensure compatibility with some DHCP clients.

DHCP Reservation
If you want a computer or device to always have the same IP address assigned, you can create a DHCP reservation.
The router will assign the IP address only to that computer or device.
Note: This IP address must be within the DHCP IP Address Range.
Enable: Check this box to enable the reservation.
Computer Name: Enter the computer name or select from the dropdown menu and click <<.
IP Address: Enter the IP address you want to assign to the
computer or device. This IP Address must be

Section 3 - Configuration
Note: The Revoke option will not disconnect a PC with a current network session from the network; you would need to use
MAC Address Filter to do that. Revoke will only free up a DHCP Address for the very next requester. If the previous
owner is still available, those two devices may both receive an IP Address Conflict error, or the second device may
still not receive an IP Address; in that case, you may still need to extend the “DHCP IP Address Range” to address
the issue, it is located in the DHCP Server section.
Reserve: The Reserve option converts this dynamic IP allocation into a DHCP Reservation and adds the corresponding entry to the
DHCP Reservations List.

Virtual Server
The DIR-615 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-615 firewall feature filters out unrecognized
packets to protect your LAN network so all computers
networked with the DIR-615 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-615 redirects the external service request to
the appropriate server within the LAN network.
The DIR-615 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.

Firewall Settings
A firewall protects your network from the outside world. The D-Link DIR-615 offers a firewall type functionality. The SPI feature helps
prevent cyber attacks. Sometimes you may want a computer exposed to the outside world for certain types of applications. If you choose
to expose a computer, you can enable DMZ. DMZ is short for Demilitarized Zone. This option will expose the chosen computer completely
to the outside world.
Enable SPI: 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.
NAT Endpoint Select one of the following for TCP and UDP ports:
Filtering: 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 Anti-Spoof Enable this option to provide protection from certain kinds of “spoofing”
Checking: attacks.
Enable DMZ Host: 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.
IP Address: Specify the IP address of the computer on the LAN that you want to
have unrestricted Internet communication. If this computer obtains it’s 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.

VPN Passthrough
RTSP
H.323
SIP (VoIP)
MMS
PPTP: Allows multiple machines on the LAN to connect to their corporate network using PPTP protocol.
IPSec (VPN): Allows multiple VPN clients to connect to their corporate network using IPSec. Some VPN clients support traversal of IPSec
through NAT. This ALG may interfere with the operation of such VPN clients. If you are having trouble connecting with your
corporate network, try turning this ALG off. Please check with the system administrator of your corporate network whether
your VPN client supports NAT traversal.
RTSP: Allows applications that use Real Time Streaming Protocol to receive streaming media from the internet. QuickTime and
Real Player are some of the common applications using this protocol.
MSN Messenger: Allows all of the Windows/MSN Messenger functions to work properly through the router.
FTP: Allows FTP clients and servers to transfer data across NAT. Refer to the Advanced > Virtual Server page if you want to
host an FTP server.
H.323 Allows Microsoft NetMeeting clients to communicate across NAT. Note that if you want your buddies to call you, you should

clients of the next window for listening to
broadcast and multicast messages.
802.11d: This enables 802.11d operation. 802.11d is
a wireless specification developed to allow implementation of wireless networks in countries that cannot use the 802.11
standard. This feature should only be enabled if you are in a country that requires it.
WMM Function: WMM is QoS for your wireless network. This will improve the quality of video and voice applications for your wireless
clients.
Short GI: Check this box to reduce the guard interval time therefore increasing the data capacity. However, it’s less reliable and may
create higher data loss.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) System is a simplified method for securing your wireless network during the “Initial setup”
as well as the “Add New Device” processes. The Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) has certified it across different products as well
as manufactures. The process is just as easy, as depressing a button for the Push-Button Method or correctly entering
the 8-digit code for the Pin-Code Method. The time reduction in setup and ease of use are quite beneficial, while the
highest wireless Security setting of WPA2 is automatically used.
Enable: Enable the Wi-Fi Protected Setup feature.
Lock Wireless Locking the wireless security settings prevents
Security Settings: the settings from being changed by the Wi-Fi
Protected Setup feature of the router. Devices
can still be added to the network using Wi-Fi
Protected Setup. However, the settings of the
network will not change once this option is
checked.
PIN Settings: A PIN is a unique number that can be used
to add the router to an existing network or to
create a new network. The default PIN may be
printed on the bottom of the router. For extra
security, a new PIN can be generated. You can
restore the default PIN at any time. Only the
Administrator (“admin” account) can change or
reset the PIN.
Current PIN: Shows the current value of the router’s PIN.
Reset PIN to
Default: Restore the default PIN of the router.
Generate New PIN: Create a random number that is a valid PIN. This becomes the router’s PIN. You can then copy this PIN to the user interface
of the registrar.

Add Wireless This Wizard helps you add wireless devices to the wireless network.
Station:
The wizard will either display the wireless network settings to guide you through manual configuration, prompt you to enter
the PIN for the device, or ask you to press the configuration button on the device. If the device supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup
and has a configuration button, you can add it to the network by pressing the configuration button on the device and then
the on the router within 60 seconds. The status LED on the router will flash three times if the device has been successfully
added to the network.
There are several ways to add a wireless device to your network. A “registrar” controls access to the wireless network. A
registrar only allows devices onto the wireless network if you have entered the PIN, or pressed a special Wi-Fi Protected Setup
button on the device. The router acts as a registrar for the network, although other devices may act as a registrar as well.
