Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the D-Link Wireless Broadband Router. Your Wireless Broadband Router enables you to share your DSL or Cable Internet connection with computers on your network. This guide will explain the features and functions of the Wireless Broadband Router to help you get the most out of your Internet experience. D-Link’s DI-714 allows LAN users to share a single Internet Connection while providing the safety and security of port blocking, packet fi

Broadband Router to expose it to the Internet and ensure complete Internet application compatibility even if specific ports are not known. Unlike proxy server or NAT software that requires the software server to remain visible on the Internet, local networked computers are not directly externally visible when using the DI-714. Also the Wireless Broadband Router, like broadband, is always on, removing the need to constantly boot a software server when access is desired from a client. In

Introduction to Broadband Router Technology A router is a device that forwards data packets from a source to a destination. Routers work on the OSI (Open System Interconnection) Layer 3, which forwards data packets using IP addresses and not a MAC (Media Access Control) address. A router will forward data from the Internet to a particular computer on your LAN. The information that makes up the Internet gets moved around using routers. When you click on a link on a web page, you send a

built specifically to act as a firewall. In most circumstances, a firewall is used to prevent unauthorized Internet users from accessing private networks such as corporate LAN’s and Intranets. A firewall watches all of the information moving to and from your network and analyzes each piece of data. Each piece of data is checked against a set of criteria that the administrator configures. If any data does not meet the criteria, that data is blocked and discarded. If the data meets the

a wireless network card. Most networks use hardware devices such as hubs or switches that each cable can be connected to in order to continue the connection between computers. A hub simply takes any data arriving through each port and forwards the data to all other ports. A switch is more sophisticated, in that a switch can determine the destination port for a specific piece of data. A switch minimizes network traffic overhead and speeds up the communication over a network. Networks

IP Security (IPSec) IPSec provides a more secure network-to-network connection across the Internet or a Wide Area Network (WAN). IPSec encrypts all communication between the client and server whereas PPTP only encrypts the data packets. Both of these VPN implementations are used because there is not a standard for VPN server software. Because of this, each ISP or business can implement its own VPN network making interoperability a challenge. Introduction to Wireless Networking D-L

Installation Considerations Designed to go up to 300 feet indoors and up to 900 feet outdoors, D-Link Air lets you access your network from virtually anywhere you want. Keep in mind, however, that the number of walls, ceilings or other objects that the wireless signals must pass thru will limit range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF noise may be evident in your home or business. The key to maximizing range is to follow these basic principles:

For the average American multiple bedroom home, range should not be a problem. If you experience low or no signal strength in areas of your home that you wish to access, consider positioning the Access Point in a location directly between the Routers and/or Computers that will be connected. Additional Access Points can be connected to provide better coverage in rooms where the signal does not appear as strong as desired. Hardware Installation Placement The DI-714 Wireless Broadband Rou

Front Panel The front panel provides LED lights to indicate the status of the unit. Refer to the following table for the meaning of each LED feature. Power Power status of the DI-714. A steady LED indicates that the power is “on.” No LED light indicates lack of power. Status Router status indicator. When the router starts up, the Status LED will briefly blink. If the unit is defective, then the indicator will be constantly “on.” Broadband Wide Area Network status. When connected to

In order to configure the DI-714 you must input the user-name into the User Name box. Enter the password into the Password box and press the OK button. The default User Name is “admin.” There is no default password, leave the Password field blank. Once you have logged-in as administrator, it is a good idea to change the administrator password to ensure a secure connection to the DI-714. The Advanced Settings section described later in this manual describes how to change the password.

Device IP Settings You have to give your Internet gateway an IP address on your “private” network. This is not the “public” IP address from your ISP but the local internal LAN IP address. The IP address of “192.168.0.1” is the default IP address of the LAN port in the broadband router. Device IP Address The internal LAN IP address of the broadband router. Device IP Subnet Mask The subnet mask can usually be left with the default entry of “255.255.255.0” 18

Cable/DSL ISP Settings The DSL/Cable ISP settings have a default to obtain dynamically the IP address for the WAN port of the broadband router. Some ISPs may give you Static IP settings. If this is the case for your ISP then you need to: Enter the IP address that is assigned by your ISP Enter the IP subnet mask Enter the ISP gateway address Enter the DNS IP address 19

ISP Additional Settings If you would like to use ISP additional settings you have to enable this function and configure this page. Some ISPs use this protocol for authentication purposes; if this is the case, you need to enter: User name: Enter the user name of your ISP account. Password: Enter the password of your ISP account. Retype password: Enter the password of your ISP account again to re-confirm. 20
