Section 2 - Installation
Before you Begin
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. 
•  Please congure 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 o 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.

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 dierence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative eect 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.
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.

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 and use the power switch to power up 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 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 conguration 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.

can be automatically redirected to local servers in the LAN (Local Area Network). 
The DIR-600 rewall feature lters out unrecognized packets to protect your LAN network so all computers networked with

This displays the detected uplink speed.
The speed at which data can be transferred from the 
router to your ISP. This is determined by your ISP. ISP’s often dene speed as 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.
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 congure 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 trac slightly dierently 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.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) System is a simplied method for securing your wireless network during the “Initial setup” as well 
as the “Add New Device” processes. The Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) has certied it across dierent 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 benecial, while the highest wireless Security setting 
of WPA2 is automatically used.

The wizard will either display the wireless network settings to guide you through manual conguration, prompt you to enter the 
PIN for the device, or ask you to press the conguration button on the device. If the device supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup and has a 
conguration button, you can add it to the network by pressing the conguration button on the device and then the on the router 
within 60 seconds. The status LED on the router will ash 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

Wireless Security
This section will show you the dierent levels of security you can use to protect your data from intruders. The 
DIR-600 oers 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 (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-specic MAC address, which is 
relatively simple to be snied 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 dierent 
operating system, the screenshots on your computer will look similar to the following examples.
1. Why can’t I access the web-based conguration utility?
When entering the IP address of the D-Link router (192.168.0.1 for example), you are not connecting to a website nor do you 
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: 
  - Microsoft Internet Explorer® 6.0 and higher
- Mozilla Firefox 3.0 and higher
- Google™ Chrome 2.0 and higher
- Apple Safari 3.0 and 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 dierent 
cable or connect to a dierent port on the device if possible. If the computer is turned o, the link light may not be on.
• Disable any Internet security software running on the computer. Software rewalls such as Zone Alarm, Black Ice, Sygate, 
Norton Personal Firewall, and Windows® XP rewall may block access to the conguration pages. Check the help les included 
with your rewall software for more information on disabling or conguring it.

110D-Link DIR-600 User Manual

• Congure 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 web management. 
• If you still cannot access the conguration, unplug the power to the router for 10 seconds and plug back in. Wait about 30 
seconds and try accessing the conguration. If you have multiple computers, try connecting using a dierent 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 emails when connecting through my router? 
If you are having a problem sending or receiving email, 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 nd 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 

112D-Link DIR-600 User Manual
Section 6 - Troubleshooting
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). 
Once you nd your MTU, you can now congure your router with the proper MTU size. 
To change the MTU rate on your router follow the steps below: 
• Open your browser, enter the IP address of your router (192.168.0.1) and click OK. 
• Enter your username (admin) and password (blank by default). Click OK to enter the web conguration page 
for the device. 
• Click on Setup and then click Manual Congure.  
• To change the MTU enter the number in the MTU eld and click Save Settings to save your settings. 
• Test your email. If changing the MTU does not resolve the problem, continue changing the MTU in increments 
of ten.

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.
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 oce environments, and public areas such as airports, coee shops 
and universities. Innovative ways to utilize WLAN technology are helping people to work and communicate more eciently. 
Increased mobility and the absence of cabling and other xed infrastructure have proven to be benecial for many users. 
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. 
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.

What is 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 oce network.
Why D-Link Wireless? 
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 aord. D-Link has all the products you need to build your network.
How does wireless work? 
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 dierent types of wireless networks Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), 
and Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN).
Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)
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 Personal Area Network (WPAN)
Bluetooth is the industry standard wireless technology used for WPAN. Bluetooth devices in WPAN operate in a range up to 
30 feet away.

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.
Who uses wireless? 
Wireless technology as become so popular in recent years that almost everyone is using it, whether it’s for home, oce, business, 
D-Link has a wireless solution for it.

Where is wireless used? 
Wireless technology is expanding everywhere not just at home or oce. 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”.
Using a D-Link Cardbus Adapter with your laptop, you can access the hotspot to connect to Internet from remote locations 
like: Airports, Hotels, Coee Shops, Libraries, Restaurants, and Convention Centers.
Wireless network is easy to setup, but if you’re installing it for the rst 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.
Tips
Here are a few things to keep in mind, when you install a wireless network.
Centralize your router or Access Point
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.
Eliminate Interference 
Place home appliances such as cordless telephones, microwaves, and televisions as far away as possible from the router/access 
point. This would signicantly reduce any interference that the appliances might cause since they operate on same frequency.
Security 
Don’t let you next-door neighbors or intruders connect to your wireless network. Secure your wireless network by turning on 
the WPA or WEP security feature on the router. Refer to product manual for detail information on how to set it up.

117D-Link DIR-600 User Manual
Appendix A - Wireless Basics
There are basically two modes of networking: 
• Infrastructure – All wireless clients will connect to an access point or wireless router.
• 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-600 wireless network Cardbus adapters.
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. 
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.
