Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the D-Link Broadband Router. Your 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 Broadband Router to help you get the most out of your Internet experience. D-Link’s Broadband Router allows LAN users to share a single Internet Connection while providing the safety and security of port blocking, packet filtering, and a natural firewall.
require no software, simply set them to accept a dynamically assigned IP address and reboot. Each time they are powered up the Broadband Router will recognize them and set their IP address to instantly connect them to the LAN. Package Contents The D-Link DI-804 package should include the following items.
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 layer 3, which forwards data packets using IP addresses and not a MAC 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 request to a server to show you the next page.
application or type of port that is being used. For example, a firewall can be configured to work with an FTP or Telnet server. Or a firewall can be configured to work with specific UDP or TCP ports to allow certain applications or games to work properly over the Internet. Introduction to Local Area Networking Local Area Networking (LAN) is the term used when connecting several computers together over a small area such as a building or group of buildings. LAN’s can be connected over large areas.
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) PPTP uses proprietary means of connecting two private networks over the Internet. PPTP is a way of securing the information that is communicated between networks. PPTP secures information by encrypting the data inside of a packet. 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.
Installation Considerations Designed to go up to 100 meters indoors and up to 300 meters outdoors, D-Link Air lets you access your network from 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 in your home or business. The key to maximizing range is to follow these basic principles: 1.
Instructions for Use of Stacking Brackets First, make sure you have one pair of stacking brackets for each device. Next, slide one bracket onto each end of the device as shown in the diagram below. Be sure each bracket is positioned correctly. Note when clicking each bracket into place, the round feet on the bottom of the device will line up with the round holes on the bracket. The brackets are designed to fit snuggly in place. Please do not force them. The brackets are now ready for stacking devices.

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.
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 ISP may give you Static IP settings.
ISP Additional Settings If you would like to use ISP additional settings you have to enable this function and configure this page. Some ISP 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 reconfirm. Some ISPs, especially cable modem providers, use the “Host Name ” to authenticate the user.
Mac Address: Enter the Mac address of the Ethernet adapter. NOTE ! Some ISP may recognize your LAN card Mac address as a legal user; In this case, you have to copy the LAN card Mac address in the Mac address field.
Modem Settings An analog external modem can be used as a dialup backup to the DSL/Cable connection. If you would like to use a modem backup, you need to enable the modem settings function. Click on “Modem Settings” on the left hand side and input the ISP account settings. Note: If you change the baud rate settings, please check the initial string. (Please refer to the modem’s manual.
Device Information The Device Information screen displays the basic information of your DI-804. The Device Name is the same as the Computer Name that was set in the Setup Wizard. The IP Address is the IP Address assigned to LAN side of your DI804. The Private LAN Mac Address the Mac Address assigned to the LAN side of your DI-804. The Public WAN (Cable/DSL) Mac Address is the Mac Address assigned to the WAN port of the DI-804. This Mac Address may be used by some cable modem connections.
Device Status The Device Status screen displays a graphical representation of your current configuration. The left side of the screen shows your connection information in regards to WAN and LAN IP Address information. The right side displays the connection status of each device. This means that there is a connection. This means that there is not a connection. The DHCP Log displays information about each IP Address assigned to a computer using the DHCP server built-in to the DI-804.
Basic Setup The Basic Setup screen enables you to change basic settings related to accessing the Internet. All of the settings covered in the Basic Setup section are covered in the Setup Wizard. The Computer Name is used to give a name to your connection if you are using a Cable modem. The Domain Name (host name) is the name given to you by your ISP provider if you using the @Home cable Internet service. Choose the Type of Connection you use by selecting Dynamic IP, Static IP, or PPPoE.
that your ISP has given you an IP address that you will use to connect to the Internet through their service. If you select Static IP, you will need to enter the correct values for the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway in the fields provided. Select PPPoE if your ISP uses the Point-to-Point over Ethernet protocol to authenticate a username and password and then automatically assign you an IP Address. PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) is a non-standard method of connecting to your ISP to obtain an IP address.
Advanced Settings DHCP Server Settings 26
By default, the Broadband Router has DHCP server enabled to assign an IP address ranging from 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.199. In addition, the router is capable of reserving up to four IP addresses within the local network for mail, web, or ftp server. Virtual Server Settings Specific application support is enabled in Virtual Server Settings under Advanced Settings. Click on the arrow to select the common applications such as FTP, Web server, and mail server.
DMZ The Virtual Server Settings under Advanced Settings also enables one computer to have full access to the Internet without the protection of the firewall.
