Installation
This section will walk you through the installation process. Placement of the Wireless Broadband Router is very important. Do not place the router in
an enclosed area such as a closet, cabinet, or in the attic or garage. Place the Wireless Broadband Router in a location where it can be easily
connected to Ethernet devices, the telephone line as well as to a power source.
Before You Begin
Please read and make sure you understand all the prerequisites for proper installation of your new router. Have all the necessary information and
equipment on hand before beginning the installation.
Operating Systems
The DIR-320 uses an HTML-based web interface for setup and management. The web configuration manager may be accessed using any
operating system capable of running web browser software, including Windows 98 SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows
Vista.
Web Browser
Any common web browser can be used to configure the router using the web configuration management software. The web browser must have
JavaScript enabled. JavaScript is enabled by default on many browsers. Make sure JavaScript has not been disabled by other software (such as
virus protection or web user security packages) that may be running on your computer.
Ethernet Port (NIC Adapter)
Any computer that uses the router must be able to connect to it through the Ethernet port on the router. Most notebook computers and fully
assembled desktop computers are now sold with an Ethernet port already installed. If your computer does not have an Ethernet port, you must
install an Ethernet NIC adapter before you can use the router.
Wireless LAN
Computers using the Wireless network can access the Internet or use the embedded 802.1g wireless access point. Wireless workstations must
have an 802.1g or 802.1b wireless network card installed to use the Wireless Broadband Router. In addition the workstations must be configured to
operate on the same channel and SSID as the Wireless Broadband Router. If wireless security is used, the wireless workstations must be properly
configured for the security settings used.
