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.

Virtual Server
The DIR-655 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-655 firewall feature filters out unrecognized packets to protect your LAN network so all computers networked
with the DIR-655 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-655 redirects the external
service request to the appropriate server within the LAN network.
The DIR-655 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.

Speed: Engine option is enabled. This option will allow
your router to automatically determine the uplink
speed of your Internet connection.
Measured Uplink This displays the detected uplink speed.
Speed:
Manual Uplink The speed at which data can be transferred from the router to your ISP. This is determined by your ISP. ISP’s often speed as
Speed: a download/upload pair. For example, 1.5Mbits/284Kbits. Using this example, you would enter 284. Alternatively you can test
your uplink speed with a service such as www.dslreports.com.
Connection Type: By default, the router automatically determines whether the underlying connection is an xDSL/Frame-relay network or some
other connection type (such as cable modem or Ethernet), and it displays the result as Detected xDSL or Frame Relay Network.
If you have an unusual network connection in which you are actually connected via xDSL but for which you configure either
“Static” or “DHCP” in the Internet settings, setting this option to xDSL or Other Frame Relay Network ensures that the router
will recognize that it needs to shape traffic slightly differently in order to give the best performance. Choosing xDSL or Other
Frame Relay Network causes the measured uplink speed to be reported slightly lower than before on such connections, but
gives much better results.
Detected xDSL: When Connection Type is set to automatic, the automatically detected connection type is displayed here.

Firewall Settings
A firewall protects your network from the outside world. The D-Link DIR-655 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 cam 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 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 Basic > DHCP page so that the IP address of
the DMZ machine does not change.

Windows Media Enables the router to recognize certain
Center: audio and video streams generated by a
Windows Media Center PC and to prioritize
these above other traffic. Such streams are
used by systems known as Windows Media
Extenders, such as the Xbox 360.
Automatic: When enabled, this option causes the router
to automatically attempt to prioritize traffic
streams that it doesn’t otherwise recognize,
based on the behaviour that the streams
exhibit. This acts to deprioritize streams
that exhibit bulk transfer characteristics,
such as file transfers, while leaving
interactive traffic, such as gaming or VoIP,
running at a normal priority.
WISH Rules: A WISH Rule identifies a specific message flow and assigns a priority to that flow. For most applications, the priority
classifiers ensure the right priorities and specific WISH Rules are not required.
WISH supports overlaps between rules. If more than one rule matches for a specific message flow, the rule with the highest
priority will be used.
