Features
The DSL-G624M Wireless ADSL Router utilizes the latest ADSL enhancements to provide a reliable Internet portal
suitable for most small to medium sized offices. DSL-G624M advantages include:
• Super G 108G Wireless MIMO – This router uses D-Link’s latest 2XR MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple
Output) technology to provide better radio signal coverage. Combined with wireless speeds of up to 108Mbps,
this router allows you to effectively implement high-bandwidth applications such as audio and video streaming;
on-line gaming and large file transfer over a wireless network.
• 802.11g. Fully compatible with the 802.11g standard to provide a wireless data rate of up to 108Mbps*
• 802.11b Backwards compatible with the 802.11b standard to provide a wireless data rate of up to 11Mbps
• WPA (Wi Fi Protected Access) authorises and identifies users based on a secret key that changes automatically
at a regular interval, for example:
• Pre Shared Key mode means that the home user, without a RADIUS server, will obtain a new security key
every time the he or she connects to the network, vastly improving the safety of communications on the
network
• Utilizes OFDM technology (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)
• Operates in the 2.4GHz frequency range
• Advanced Firewall features: Supports NAT with VPN pass-through, providing added security, MAC Filtering,
URL Filtering, and Scheduling
• DHCP server enables all networked computers to automatically receive IP addresses
• Web-based interface for Managing and Configuring
• Access Control to manage users on the network
• Supports special applications that require multiple connections
• PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) Security – The DSL-G624M ADSL Router supports PAP (Password
Authentication Protocol) and CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) for PPP connections.
• DHCP Support – Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol automatically and dynamically assigns al LAN IP
settings to each host on your network. This eliminates the need to reconfigure every host whenever changes in
network topology occur.
• Network Address Translation (NAT) – For small office environments, the DSL-G624M allows multiple
users on the LAN to access the Internet concurrently through a single Internet account. This provides Internet
access to everyone in the office for the price of a single user.
• NAT improves network security in effect by hiding the private network behind one global and visible IP
address. NAT address mapping can also be used to link two IP domains via a LAN-to-LAN connection.
• TCP/IP (Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) – The DSL-G624M supports TCP/IP protocol, the
language used for the Internet. It is compatible with access servers manufactured by major vendors.
• RIP-1/RIP-2 – The DSL-G624M supports both RIP-1 and RIP-2 exchanges with other routers. Using both
versions lets the Router to communicate with all RIP enabled devices.
• Static Routing – This allows you to select a data path to a particular network destination that will remain in
the routing table and never “age out”. If you wish to define a specific route that will always be used for data
traffic from your LAN to a specific destination within your LAN (for example to another router or a server) or
outside your network (to a ISP defined default gateway for instance).
• Default Routing – This allows you to choose a default path for incoming data packets for which the
destination address is unknown. This is particularly useful when if the Router functions as the sole connection
to the Internet.
