• Secure Multiple/Concurrent Sessions - The DIR-628 can pass through VPN sessions. It
supports multiple and concurrent IPSec and PPTP sessions, so users behind the DIR-628
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 802.11a and 802.11g Devices - The DIR-628 is still fully compatible with the IEEE
802.11a/g standard, so it can connect with existing 802.11a/b/g PCI, USB and Cardbus adapters.

Installation
D-Link DIR-628 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
11
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-628 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
(fish tanks), mirrors, file 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.
12
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:

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.

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.
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:

The DIR-628 is also capable of port-redirection meaning incoming traffic to a particular port may be redirected to a
different port on the server computer.
The DIR-628 firewall feature filters out unrecognized packets to protect your LAN network so all computers networked
with the DIR-628 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-628 redirects the external
