Features
D-Link DIR-615 User Manual
* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g and Draft 802.11n specications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and
environmental factors, including volume of network trafc, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental
conditions will adversely affect wireless signal range.
• 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.
• 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.
• Filter Scheduling - These filters can be scheduled to be active on certain days or for a
duration of hours or minutes.
• Content Filtering - Easily applied content filtering based on MAC Address, URL, and/or
Domain Name.
• Advanced Firewall Features - The Web-based user interface displays a number of advanced network
management features including:
• Compatible with 802.11g Devices - The DIR-615 is still fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11g standard,
so it can connect with existing 802.11g PCI, USB and Cardbus adapters.
• Faster Wireless Networking - The DIR-615 provides up to 300Mbps* wireless connection with other
802.11n wireless clients. This capability allows users to participate in real-time activities online, such as
video streaming, online gaming, and real-time audio.

Installation
D-Link DIR-615 User Manual
• 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.
• 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.
• 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).
• Please configure the router with the computer that was last connected directly to your modem.
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.
Section 2 - Installation
Wireless Installation Considerations
D-Link DIR-615 User Manual
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.
4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that
generate RF noise.
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
(sh tanks), mirrors, le cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.
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.
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.
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:

9. Skip to page 13 to congure your router.
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.
7. Turn on your computer.
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.
5. Turn on or plug in your modem. Wait for the modem to boot (about 30 seconds).
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.
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.
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.
1. Place the router in an open and central location. Do not plug the power adapter into the router.
If you are connecting the router to a cable/DSL/satellite modem, please follow the steps below:

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.
To connect to another router, please follow the steps below:
• 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.
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:

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

For a list of ports for common applications, please visit http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod_id=1191.
Each virtual service that is created will be listed at the
bottom of the screen in the Virtual Servers List.There are
pre-dened virtual services already in the table. You
may use them by enabling them and assigning the
server IP to use that particular virtual service.
The DIR-615 is also capable of port-redirection
meaning incoming trafc to a particular port may
be redirected to a different port on the server
computer.
The DIR-615 rewall feature lters 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.
34
The DIR-615 can be congured 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).

Wireless Security
What is WPA?
• WPA2-PSK(Pre-Shared Key)
• WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
D-Link DIR-615 User Manual
79
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.
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.
• 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.
• 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.
The 2 major improvements over WEP:
WPA, or Wi-Fi Protected Access, is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve the security features of WEP (Wired
Equivalent Privacy).
• WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2)
• WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)

Example: ping yahoo.com -f -l 1472
ping [url] [-f] [-l] [MTU value]
• Once the window opens, you’ll need to do a special ping. Use the following syntax:
• Windows® 95, 98, and Me users type in command (Windows® NT, 2000, and XP users type in cmd) and
press Enter (or click OK).
• Click on Start and then click Run.
96
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.
Note: AOL DSL+ users must use MTU of 1400.
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).
3. Why can’t I connect to certain sites or send and receive e-mails when connecting through my router?
Section 6 - Troubleshooting
D-Link DIR-615 User Manual
• Test your e-mail. If changing the MTU does not resolve the problem, continue changing the MTU in
increments of ten.
• To change the MTU enter the number in the MTU field and click Save Settings to save your settings.
• Click on Setup and then click Manual Configure.
• Enter your username (admin) and password (blank by default). Click OK to enter the web configuration
page for the device.
• Open your browser, enter the IP address of your router (192.168.0.1) and click OK.
To change the MTU rate on your router follow the steps below:
Once you nd your MTU, you can now congure your router with the proper MTU size.
97
You should start at 1472 and work your way down by 10 each time. Once you get a reply, go up by 2 until you get a
fragmented packet. Take that value and add 28 to the value to account for the various TCP/IP headers. For example,
lets say that 1452 was the proper value, the actual MTU size would be 1480, which is the optimum for the network
we’re working with (1452+28=1480).

Wireless Basics
D-Link DIR-615 User Manual

Under many circumstances, it may be desirable for mobile network devices to link to a conventional Ethernet LAN in
order to use servers, printers or an Internet connection supplied through the wired LAN. A Wireless Router is a device
used to provide this link.
Wireless users can use the same applications they use on a wired network. Wireless adapter cards used on laptop
and desktop systems support the same protocols as Ethernet adapter cards.
A wireless local area network (WLAN) is a cellular computer network that transmits and receives data with radio signals
instead of wires. Wireless LANs are used increasingly in both home and ofce environments, and public areas such
as airports, coffee shops and universities. Innovative ways to utilize WLAN technology are helping people to work and
communicate more efciently. Increased mobility and the absence of cabling and other xed infrastructure have proven
to be benecial for many users.
D-Link wireless products are based on industry standards to provide easy-to-use and compatible high-speed wireless
connectivity within your home, business or public access wireless networks. Strictly adhering to the IEEE standard,
the D-Link wireless family of products will allow you to securely access the data you want, when and where you want
it. You will be able to enjoy the freedom that wireless networking delivers.
Appendix A - Wireless Basics
D-Link DIR-615 User Manual
In a wireless local area network, a device called an Access Point (AP) connects computers to the network.
The access point has a small antenna attached to it, which allows it to transmit data back and forth over radio
signals. With an indoor access point as seen in the picture, the signal can travel up to 300 feet. With an outdoor
access point the signal can reach out up to 30 miles to serve places like manufacturing plants, industrial
locations, college and high school campuses, airports, golf courses, and many other outdoor venues.
Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)
Wireless works similar to how cordless phone work, through radio signals to transmit data from one point A
to point B. But wireless technology has restrictions as to how you can access the network. You must be within
the wireless network range area to be able to connect your computer. There are two different types of wireless
networks Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), and Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN).
How does wireless work?
D-Link is the worldwide leader and award winning designer, developer, and manufacturer of networking
products. D-Link delivers the performance you need at a price you can afford. D-Link has all the products you
need to build your network.
Why D-Link Wireless?
Wireless or Wi-Fi technology is another way of connecting your computer to the network without using wires.
Wi-Fi uses radio frequency to connect wirelessly, so you have the freedom to connect computers anywhere
in your home or ofce network.

Wireless technology as become so popular in recent years that almost everyone is using it, whether it’s for
home, ofce, business, D-Link has a wireless solution for it.
Who uses wireless?
Compared to WLAN the speed and wireless operation range are both less than WLAN, but in return it
doesn’t use nearly as much power which makes it ideal for personal devices, such as mobile phones, PDAs,
headphones, laptops, speakers, and other devices that operate on batteries.
Bluetooth is the industry standard wireless technology used for WPAN. Bluetooth devices in WPAN operate
in a range up to 30 feet away.
Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN)
Appendix A - Wireless Basics

D-Link DIR-615 User Manual
Place home appliances such as cordless telephones, microwaves, and televisions as far away as possible
from the router/access point. This would signicantly reduce any interference that the appliances might cause
since they operate on same frequency.
Eliminate Interference
Make sure you place the router/access point in a centralized location within your network for the best
performance. Try to place the router/access point as high as possible in the room, so the signal gets dispersed
throughout your home. If you have a two-story home, you may need a repeater to boost the signal to extend
the range.
Centralize your router or Access Point
Here are a few things to keep in mind, when you install a wireless network.
Tips
Wireless network is easy to setup, but if you’re installing it for the first time it could be quite a task not knowing
where to start. That’s why we’ve put together a few setup steps and tips to help you through the process of
setting up a wireless network.
Using a D-Link Cardbus Adapter with your laptop, you can access the hotspot to connect to Internet from
remote locations like: Airports, Hotels, Coffee Shops, Libraries, Restaurants, and Convention Centers.
Wireless technology is expanding everywhere not just at home or ofce. People like the freedom of mobility
and it’s becoming so popular that more and more public facilities now provide wireless access to attract people.
The wireless connection in public places is usually called “hotspots”.
Where is wireless used?
Appendix A - Wireless Basics

An Ad-Hoc network contains only clients, such as laptops with wireless cardbus adapters. All the adapters must be in
Ad-Hoc mode to communicate.
An Infrastructure network contains an Access Point or wireless router. All the wireless devices, or clients, will connect
to the wireless router or access point.
• Ad-Hoc – Directly connecting to another computer, for peer-to-peer communication, using wireless network
adapters on each computer, such as two or more DIR-615 wireless network Cardbus adapters.
• Infrastructure – All wireless clients will connect to an access point or wireless router.
There are basically two modes of networking:
